Deputy commissioner Nico Steenkamp said that joint crime prevention and road safety operations were conducted throughout that period.<\/p>\n

Steenkamp said that random roadblocks were conducted covering accident-prone zones, as well as fixed roadblocks at Oshiko and Oneshoko.
\n“Intensified and robust crime prevention was conducted particularly at crime hotspot areas,” he said.<\/p>\n

Steenkamp added that undercover operations were also conducted by the crime intelligence teams.<\/p>\n

With regards to traffic offenders, Steenkamp indicated that 9 084 road users were randomly breath tested, of which 27 drivers tested positive, 95 were arrested, two vehicles were impounded and 74 summons were issued for an amount of N$71 750.
\nThe police also managed to confiscated various illicit goods.

Steenkamp noted that during festive season, criminal activities are always on the increase in the region.
\nHe said this is because most people travel to spend time with loved ones and mostly they leave their residences prone to criminals, which make the public to lose their properties and valuables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
