NamPol National Spokesperson Deputy Commissioner Kauna Shikwambi has urged motorists to exercise caution and responsible behaviour on the roads as the Easter long weekend gets underway.

The Head of the Namibian Police's Criminal Investigation Directorate has acknowledged that little progress has been made in solving some of the country's most horrific murder cases, crimes that have shaken the nation over the years.

The Namibian Police announced today that there are no new developments in the rape and murder case of 5-year-old Ingrid Maasdorp from Okahandja.

The family of the six people who died in a fire incident at Usakos' Hakaseb location has identified the deceased as 86-year-old Elizabeth !Naruses and her 17-year-old granddaughter, Finney !Naruses.

Lieutenant General Joseph Shikongo says that no Namibian should live in fear of moving around at any hour due to criminals.

Lieutenant General Shikongo led a joint operation by the police and city police on Saturday.

The police have destroyed drugs and illegal substances that were confiscated from 2017 to the present.

The items are valued at over N$14 million.

The substances include marijuana with an estimated street value of N$12.5 million, cocaine worth N$500,000, and crack cocaine worth about N$200,000.

The Namibian Police continue to make strides towards the attainment of gender equality within the Force.

Deputy Inspector General for Operations Elias Mutota said women have, over the years, continued to play an indispensable role in leadership and law enforcement, among other things.

Three men have been arrested in connection with an armed robbery that took place last night at Nau-Aib, Okahandja, while two other suspects remain at large.

The men, aged between 28 and 30, stole 37 packs of Closwa Biltong and N$21,500 in cash.

A 31-year-old man succumbed to his injuries after he was struck with a wine bottle during an argument at a bar at Onathinge village in the Oshikoto Region on Sunday.

A 37-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly raping his nieces aged nine and seven at Amilema village in the Oshikoto Region’s Omuthiya Constituency.
