The District Community Liaison Officer, Inspector of Police (IP) Juvenal Kayiranga said, “One thing is clear; you will be identified and arrested in one way or another and the best way to avoid that is to refrain from such acts.”
He reminded them that fighting crimes and ensuring safety of their neighborhoods is equally their responsibility by reporting any illegal act they witness.
