TVM / Police commander Bernardino Rafael
Mozambique has seen an increase in crime perpetrated by illegal immigrants, police commander Bernardino Rafael has said.
About 20% of 20,000 criminal cases recorded in 2017 were carried out by illegal immigrants,some with the connivance of law and order officials, he added.
He did not say from where the alleged criminals came, but said they had been involved in forging bank notes, and smuggling of people, drugs, rhino horns and mineral resources.
There was an urgent need for the security forces to crack down on crime, including tightening border controls, he added.
