Police Warn Public Against Police Imposters

The release reads, “Following a recent message circulating in social media purporting to be a Botswana Police alert dated 24/05/17 in which it is claimed that four gun men are on a spree to commit a series of offences including killing, raping and robbery, the Botswana Police Service (BPS) would like to distance itself and to clearly state that they have never issued such an alert or anything related with such insinuations”.

It further states that the police would like to strongly warn social media users against casual circulation of messages claiming to originate from BPS without verification.
