Raising awareness about crime in Primrose remains a top priority for the Primrose police and Primrose Crime Prevention Youth Desk.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday a team took to the streets of Primrose East where the number of house break-ins and thefts and robberies has steadily been on the rise.<\/p>

\u201cThe door-to-door campaign aimed to sensitise the residents about the crimes happening in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe feel our residents need to know what is happening in their area,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>
