Stakeholders in road safety are working to ensure that roads are safe for all by setting up checkpoints along the major roads.

One such control point is on the Swakopmund-Henties Bay route.

Break-ins top the list of the weekend's crime report, including at the Windhoek High Court and the Ministry of Finance and Public Enterprises.

On Friday, suspects gained entry to the Windhoek High Court at an unknown time with the intention of stealing.

Amid the festivities, the public is warned not to relax their guard but to be on the lookout for criminals or scammers who up their game during this time of the year.

Safety and security are the number-one priorities of the Erongo Police at Swakopmund and Walvis Bay.

In a deeply saddening discovery, the body of a baby girl, estimated to be between seven and nine months old, was found abandoned next to a municipality skip container on Etetewe Street, near the open market in Windhoek's Hakahana Residential area, yesterday.

The Inspector General of the Police, Joseph Shikongo, has firmly instructed officers in the Zambezi Region not to compromise on the safety of the public. 

This directive was emphasized by Lieutenant Joseph Shikongo during his remarks at a police parade in Katima Mulilo.
