FRANCISTOWN: Botswana Police Service (BPS), Serious Crime Squad Superintendent Moses Morapedi under the Serious and Violent crimes unit has revealed that Honda Fit is the most stolen motor vehicle model across all districts in Botswana. Morapedi told Mmegi that motor vehicles are stolen on a daily basis and they receive complaints about cars stolen every morning in a week.

He said that BPS has recorded an increase in motor vehicle theft since the beginning of this year as compared to the same period last year.

He said that the criminals target Honda Fit, Toyota Runx and Hilux parked in their respective homes at night. Morapedi said that since the beginning of this year to March they have registered a total of 20 cars in the No: 1 and 15 districts.   Thirteen vehicles were actually stolen in the policing area of No: 15 district and one was falsified, whereas seven vehicles for No: 1 district were also stolen. He indicated that last year in the same period they recorded six stolen motor vehicles in No: 1 district and none for No: 15 district, which still calls for concern on the increased levels of motor vehicle theft.
