Cases of housebreaking, particularly in schools and churches are on the increase in the Kavango East Region.

Deputy Commissioner Bonifatius Kanyetu revealed this during the display of goods confiscated at Rundu, mainly stationary from schools.

An adult male and a Grade 10 learner were arrested after they were found in possession of the stolen goods in Sikanduko Informal Settlement. 

DC Kanyetu says the extended Boots on the Ground Operation is bearing fruit as the number of street robberies has reduced dramatically.
