Crime statistics in Marlands remain a concern for both the Primrose police and residents.<\/p>\n
Crimes of concern to police include house robberies, hijackings and theft of motor vehicles.<\/p>
To try and tackle the problem, members of the Primrose SAPS Crime Prevention Youth Desk, with the help of officers from the Primrose Police Station, recently visited Marlands to warn the community about these crime trends.<\/p>\n
Approximately 350 safety tip flyers were distributed to the community during the door-to-door awareness campaign.<\/p>
\u201cPolice and members of the youth desk also interacted with residents, warning them about the top crimes taking place in the sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope our community will take them into consideration and that the tips will help in their time of need,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
The team will continue to host similar operations in the hope of bringing an end to crime in the area.<\/p>\n
