John DK further disclosed that majority of the people live their houses open as they attend night discos where the thieves play their duties of stealing.

Meanwhile Maiku Ipai Frank, the LC one chairperson of central one village in Moyo town council says there is no immediate solution to the cases of house break-ins as he appealed to the public to be watchful of wrong elements. “The solution is first, you the owner of the shop or the house, you must build up your own security by either recruiting at list a local guide if its shop break-in,” Maiku appealed to the public

He further revealed that police can’t be everywhere to monitor and as the LC ones are also in their own homes sleeping. “These thieves are also smart, they come to your place knowing very well that there is no person in the house at that moment,’’ He encouraged the community to be vigilant.
