“There were so many that we found nearly every street had one or two vehicles left unattended on them,” he said.
“As police we are trying our best, but our community is letting us down.
“The community must also inform their visitors about the theft of motor vehicles in the area and let them park inside their properties when they come to visit.
“We will keep on working hard to overcome these challenges.”
The community is urged to contact the sector vehicles if they notice any suspicious movements in their streets.
