Four people were arrested in connection with housebreaking during a joint operation between NAMPOL and the City Police today.

The suspects were found busy breaking into a house in Khomasdal's Dater Street.

Large amounts of money lay scattered all over the house, and weapons were allegedly found in the suspect's possession.

It was a regular Friday afternoon when the housekeeper's boyfriend, who has now joined the list of culprits as the fifth suspect, came to visit his girlfriend.

More than 60 taxis were curbed off the road for operating illegally in a span of a week. 

This was enabled by a new application that is fast and effective in identifying registered and non-registered taxis. 

During their patrols, the City Police usually made calls to confirm if the operating taxis were registered, which was a lengthy and ineffective process at times.  

However, with the new operating system identification is instant.

Chief of City Police Abraham Kanime says some of the unregistered taxis are used to commit criminal activities. 

Overtaking in blind spots, driving under the influence of alcohol, and speeding are some of the major issues contributing to road accidents in the Erongo Region.

Road safety stakeholders, including the police, the Roads Authority, the Motor Accident Vehicle Fund, and the City Police, are all active at roadblocks in the Erongo region.

Stakeholders warn motorists against taking risks on public roads, warning that culprits will be arrested.

Travelers are further cautioned not to use rest stops along public roads for drinking sprees.

The Namibia Breweries Limited launched its "Responsible Drinking" campaign, advocating for responsible drinking and addressing excessive use of alcohol.

With the assistance of various stakeholders such as Nampol and the City Police, NBL has so far reduced the harmful use of alcohol and promoted responsible drinking.

The responsible drinking campaign is part of the NBL's commitment to promote responsible behavior among motorists and support local road safety campaigns since 2006.

Windhoek residents have been urged to be vigilant about a growing trend of water meter and electric gate motor theft.

These items are the latest hot targets for thieves in Windhoek, according to statistics compiled by the City of Windhoek and the City Police.

The Municipality Spokesperson, Lydia Amutenya, says that the City has of late experienced a spike in the theft of metal items, which she links to a rising number of water meter theft cases.

Since January, the City has recorded about 247 stolen water meters, 166 of which were in August alone.
