Police chief declares war on criminals

Speaking at the Hospitality and Tourism Association of Botswana (HATAB) annual general meeting in Maun at the weekend, the police commissioner told participants that police are worried about the increase in the number of attacks on tourists, particularly in the Kasane and Maun areas. He said police were also alarmed at the fact that security guards, who are supposed to look after people's property, are getting increasingly involved in crime. 

He said some security guards have been apprehended for their involvement in most of the crimes committed and would soon appear in court.
