The Primrose CPF is warning the community that hijackings are occurring and vehicles are being stolen on a regular basis in the area.<\/p>\n
The committee has warned that those community members who are parking their vehicles in the road instead of in their driveways behind closed gates are encouraging criminals to visit the area.<\/p>
Residents are urged to park their vehicles in a safe place where criminals cannot easily access them.<\/p>\n
Valuables must not be left in vehicles.<\/p>
