The Police in the Otjozondjupa Region have called on the inhabitants to continue cooperating with law enforcement agencies to curb criminal activities.

Otjozondjupa Police Commander Commissioner Henrich Tjiveze made this call during an outreach awareness campaign on drug law enforcement in Otjiwarongo.

The outreach campaign, which was mainly attended by children, aims to educate members of the public on the impact and consequences of engaging in criminal activities.

Police in the Otjozondjupa Region have warned the public to be cautious because there are people impersonating police officers and targeting people who have registered criminal complaints.

Since December last year, community members at Okahandja and nearby areas have been scammed by men targeting people with criminal cases registered and threatening them with demands for payment.
