Botswana Police Service
Violent and Intrusive Crimes a concern
17/02/11

Violent and intrusive crime continues to concern the Botswana Police Service. These offences often leave victims seriously injured or dead with many of them losing property to such criminals.

Offences such as murder, threat to kill, and suicide often occur after a misunderstanding over love affairs and failure to consult relevant authorities when faced with difficulties.

Members of the public are advised to always strive to find humble ways of resolving differences. Where they see it very difficult, they should seek for help from relatives or consult social workers or Church Ministers.

In cases of Armed Robberies, Robberies and their attempts people are attacked in the streets especially in dark areas. Occasionally business community is targeted and robbed large sums of money.

People are advised to avoid dark areas and also to avoid going un-accompanied during the night. The business community is advised to always secure their premises with Burglar bars, hiring reputable security services and installing CCTV.
