Police are warning Zimbabweans to stay alert during the holiday season because crime usually spikes when families bounce to rural areas or vacation spots. Inspector Nomalanga Msebele from Bulawayo said criminals lurk on social media looking for people posting their travel plans, then target empty houses for break-ins and theft. She told residents to keep their vacation details off the internet, lock everything up tight, and get neighbors or cops to check on their property while they're gone.
The other massive concern is road safety since companies are shutting down for Christmas and the New Year. Authorities said more than 80 percent of crashes come from driver mistakes, with bus operators racing each other on highways and putting everyone at risk. Police want to crack down harder on reckless driving, while passengers should snitch on dangerous drivers at roadblocks or stations to help stop the carnage that happens every holiday season.
