Do not buy stolen goods
“We encourage the community to report any person selling suspected stolen goods.”
BETHAL – Const Thomas Mogadime, communications officer, warned residents not to buy stolen goods from thieves.
The police are worried about how the community supports criminals by buying stolen goods.
“We encourage the community to report any person selling suspected stolen goods.”
He said people must always ensure that they do not leave their house keys in the door, because it is easy to make duplicate keys for easy access to one’s premises.
House owners need to ensure that whenever they buys luxury goods, that they cut up the boxes and dispose of them.
If thieves see that there is a new television box outside a house, it makes that house a target.
If you buy stolen goods, more victims will suffer because buying goods obtained in an illegal manner, motivates criminals to repeat their actions,” said Const Mogadime.
Thieves go about stealing goods to meet the demand for stolen goods
