Elkana said that the strategy had paid off because the presence of police officers equipped with security gadgets deterred hoodlums from perpetrating crimes in their various vicinities.
He also said that Shina Peller, the owner of Club Quilox on Victoria Island who was recently arrested because his club activities contributed to the obstruction of traffic within the suburb, had been granted bail.
According to Elkana Peller was granted bail based on self recognition being a member of the House of Representatives, but that investigations regarding his matter were still ongoing.
