A densely populated Extension 27 location in Gaborone that has been a haven for criminals for years is still keeping the police on its toes. Mmegi Staff Writer, PINI BOTHOKO observes that the haven continues to experience an upsurge in criminal activities that has left residents of Gaborone in constant fear for their lives.

This location is the first stop for the majority of people who relocate from far-flung villages for greener pastures in Gaborone because of its cheaper or affordable accommodation.

The police have cited the location as a hot spot for criminals with theft incidents especially pick pocketing occurring more often, thus keeping the police service on its toes. The exodus to Extension 27 location has resulted in thugs moving in as well and claiming their spot.The criminals target people, especially women in the evening after getting off from combis and snatch handbags, money, cell phones, laptops and other valuables. Of recent they introduced a new system in which they attack and snatch people’s belongings immediately when boarding off public transports.
