FRANCISTOWN: The police are alarmed at the rate at which Toyota cars are stolen. They now believe that thieves are especially targeting the Toyota Corolla and Runx models.

Most of the cars are stolen at night whilst parked at home, but the police are baffled as to how the thieves start the cars whose owners are left holding the keys. Central police acting station commander Assistant Superintendent Edward Leposo disclosed that they are currently investigating a case in which a Toyota Runx car was stolen at China town flats, next to Area A in Francistown on Monday night.

Leposo said that they received a report from the victim in the early morning of Tuesday saying he parked the car around eight in the evening and then went to sleep.  However, upon waking up on Tuesday morning the car was nowhere to be found.
