Police in the Omaheke Region have expressed gratitude to the region's residents and holidaymakers for abiding by the laws during the festive season.

Acting Regional Commander, Deputy Commissioner Jacxon Kamwangha, says the region is one of those that records low crime rates throughout the year.

It's the festive season, and the streets of Gobabis, the region's capital, are mostly empty as many of the town's residents have travelled to villages to spend time with their loved ones.

Easter weekend went by in relative peace and quiet in the |Khomas Region, with police reporting a decline in criminal activity compared to what is normally the case over the holidays.

The Namibian Police's Commander in |Khomas, Commissioner David Indongo commended residents for their good behaviour over the long weekend, describing the holidays as calm.

The nbc News team caught up with Commissioner Indongo at the Okapuka police checkpoint between Okahandja and Windhoek.
