Nowhere to run for armed robbers

Gone are the days when armed robbers and other criminals could strike and simply disappear into thin air, leaving no trace. As of late, the police have intensified their investigations and have been spending sleepless nights to make arrests. In the past, armed robbers used to keep the cops on their toes with most cases ending up unsolved but that appears to be a thing for the past. One can wonder if the police have upgraded its technology to make it easier for law enforcement to track down offenders or they have enforced their policing strategies.

Three weeks back, Gaborone and the Southern district were hard hit by a string of armed robberies targetting chain stores who were attacked and robbed at gunpoint. The thieves walked away with thousands of pulas but for a change shortly the police announced the arrest of six men linked to the offences. The police did not only arrest the criminals, they also confiscated three firearms and large quantities of drugs suspected to be dagga, which they have been paddling into the country.
