THE rate of serious crimes, including armed robbery, in Kilimanjaro
Region has declined while that of petty offences is on the increase,
police sources revealed here.
Presenting the 2014/16 crime report
here, Kilimanjaro Regional Police Commander, Mr Ramadhani Mungi,
attributed the decline in serious crimes to joint efforts between the
police force and the public in tackling the problem.
He said in 2014 a total of 34,126 major
crime incidents occurred compared to 32,480 cases recorded the previous
year, equivalent to 4.8 decrease per cent.
“Such crimes as killings, armed robbery
and theft and dumping of children have decreased. With the continuing
collaboration with the public, we believe the number will even drop this
year,” he said.
