The holiday season is a period when many individuals become victims of crimes, but most occurrences may be prevented if people pay close attention to their surroundings and take proactive safeguards.

Erongo Police Regional Commander, Commissioner Nikolaus Kupembona said this during his festive season and crime prevention message. 

Kupembona said the festive season brings an increase in traveling, shopping, and socializing, therefore, it appears to be a peak period where crime rates escalate.
