“The cases recorded are mostly from within and parents should be mindful of what their children are doing and try to monitor them and caution them not to engage in unlawful acts.”
He urged citizens to be vigilant at all times and to always call on the police any time they suspect strange movements or things in their area.

He also advised the youth to engage in legal online business rather than involving themselves in Yahoo Yahoo (internet fraud).
