Criminal nest

Two houses in 6th street, situated next to one another behind Shoprite in Walvis Bay, has been left abandoned by their owners and have since been stripped and become a hide out.
The houses are in terrible condition, as built in cupboards and appliances have been stolen and the places left in a mess of clutter, filth and faeces. Since these houses have been abandoned, the number of burglaries in the street have gone up. Residents of the street have made numerouscomplaints to the municipality as well as the owners, about the houses attracting visitors at night, who are suspected of using the houses as a hiding place. These visitors are nowhere to be found when day breaks. “These people can be heard during the night, they are loud. Since the houses have been left empty, the street has experienced more break-ins and we believe that they use these empty houses to hide.”
