Primrose police have noted an increase in the number of violent crimes being reported.<\/p>\n
\u201cCrimes, where excessive force is used such as hijackings, business robberies and house robberies, have started to increase,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>
With this in mind, and as the festive season gets closer, the police have sent a stern warning to the community to be more careful.<\/p>\n
\u201cCommunity members need to increase their security wherever possible and always be alert and aware of their surroundings,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>
\u201cWe are also appealing to the community to be careful when entering or leaving their premises.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maome advised that residents should, whenever possible, have someone waiting for them when they arrive home, especially in the evenings.<\/p>\n
