The Accra Regional Police Command has increased the number of police officers patrolling the city. This measure is a direct response to a recent increase in phone snatching crimes.
Police patrols will be more visible, especially in areas known for these types of crimes. The aim is to deter criminals and reassure the public.
Residents have been advised by the police to be extra vigilant when using their mobile phones, especially in public places.
These increased patrols are part of an effort by the Ghana Police Service to maintain public safety and reduce opportunistic crime like phone theft.
