Incidents of murder, attempted murder, manslaughter and grievous bodily harm have dropped by 37 percent, property crimes have dropped by 27.53 percent and teen sex crimes have dropped by 22 percent. Advertisement During the strike, the police have cracked down on teen drug activity, leading to a 29 percent rise in drug-related cases among teenagers. A police spokesman said the police were acting to stop alcohol sales to minors, an activity considered conducive to teen crime. Among other things police intend to close down kiosks and stores that sell alcoholic drinks to minors.
