Stock theft, illegal entry into the country, and robberies rank amongst the highest daily crimes committed along the Kunene River.

As a result, residents want a police station at Otjinungua Village in the Epupa Constituency to curtail criminal activities between Namibia and Angola.

Cases of stock theft and illegal entries are said to be heightened due to the absence of gazetted entry points between Namibia and Angola's Namibe and Cunene Provinces.

Gang attacks and robberies are also showing an upward trend in the area.
