Most of the crimes happen when homeowners leave for holiday,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Sakaria also urged homeowners to inform the neighbourhood watch committee in their areas to patrol their properties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe established neighbourhood watches in every location. Inform them that you are leaving because the police cannot be everywhere all the time,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the new technologies that everyone is using, one can now monitor their houses from their mobile phones,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Sakaria also urged those who are travelling to avoid drinking and driving.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are already getting into the festive season mood, even before Christmas has started. They are already boozing and wanting to drive around. In this region, the traffic law-enforcement department is intentionally directed as part of our strategy to enhance and improve compliance on our roads and our towns,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n<p>He assured drivers that drinking and driving would get them into prison, and missing out on Christmas joy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook at your vehicle and its readiness to travel long distances, its roadworthiness and whether your disk is valid. Also, look for your driver\u2019s licence, drive at the authorised speed, and avoid leaving valuable items in your vehicle,\u201d pleaded Sakaria.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that as the police, they depend on the community in terms of sharing information, and will appreciate the usual cooperation and communication.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
