Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Criminals on Sunday stole stole from an office block at Sanjika Palace in Blantyre, Malawi Police have confirmed. National Police spokesperson James Kadadzera said the thugs went away with a 50 metre razor wire stolen from housing administration office.<\/p>\n

He, however, argued that there is no cause for alarm since the criminal act did not occur inside the Sanjika Palace. He said: \u201cThe building is metres away from the Sanjika Palace and nothing was tampered with inside the fence apart from the protective wire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kadadzera added that police have enhanced security at the office block and have launched a manhunt for the criminals. According to a police report on the incident, the office block is manned by two security officers during the night.<\/p>\n
