Smash and grab under control- Motube

Smash and grab incidents kept the police busy with daily occurrences as robbers attacked innocent people by the traffic lights, intersections, and speed humps. The robbers sometimes used force or threatened them with sharp objects. For years, the city has been experiencing an upsurge in cases of violent crime posing a danger to the lives of members of the public who were living in constant fear of criminals and felt unsafe driving at night.

Concerned with these incidents, a few years ago the government, through the BPS, installed cameras with video surveillance in Gaborone and Francistown respectively to fight the scourge. This move was followed by a bold statement by the Minister of Defence and Security, Kagiso Mmusi, instructing the police to do whatever it took to eliminate petty criminals as people were living in constant fear even in the comfort of their homes and cars.
