He said crime in Primrose East is increasing and police are concerned about house burglaries and car theft.
Maome warned residents not to park their vehicles outside their gates and beware of suspicious vehicles and people when leaving or arriving at their properties.
“Remove all mail from your post box as it draws the attention of house burglars. Register number plates of unknown vehicles spotted in the area,” he said.
