Exercise extra caution!

Unfortunately, petty thieves tend to be more vicious around this time as they also prepare for the festive season. Culturally, many Batswana go home for the holiday, and petty thieves are amongst those who go home. Burglaries, car break-ins, and attacks on unsuspecting pedestrians seem to be on the rise!

That is not all, as scammers continue to take money from pensioners as well as other Batswana who may fall prey to their unscrupulous tactics. The Botswana Police Service has time and again warned the public against giving their personal details to people they do not know over the phone, but some people nonetheless still fall prey to these individuals.
