High school students beware: Police

Police have warned high school students, especially grades 10 and 12, to be at their best behaviour after the exams.

This comes after numerous reports of students getting drunk after their exams and getting caught by law enforcement officers.

Superintendent for Operations, Fred Tundu, said police will be patrolling the city outskirts where students tend to frequent to have drink ups.

“We have experienced this before when exams ends and we are expecting it yet again come the turnaround times for the high schools here in NCD,” he said.

Meantime, Tundu urged parents to also take responsibility of their children and check up on them after hours especially after schools on Fridays.

He said taking full care of our children should be first priority following their education and urged that parent monitor their children’s activities after school hours.

Tundu adds that with the juvenile system in order, students caught by police drinking will be charged and arrested under juvenile charges.

He warns students to stay out of trouble and to remain safely with their families at home and wait for their graduation.
