Firecrackers being thrown in Bartica

Dear Editor,
The Christmas season is coming on, and firecrackers and squibs are starting to be fired off a lot in Bartica. I know they are banned items, but they are being sold all over in Bartica village.

These shopkeepers and traders don’t have respect for the law and the people have no respect for the police. Residents are calling on the officer in charge of Bartica Police Station to look into this matter because it’s dangerous.

Some of the children and young men don’t have respect for anyone, and they light and then throw the firecrackers to hurt somebody.
The officer in charge of Bartica Police Station is very serious about his job, and we the residents of Bartica thank him and ask him to keep up his good work to keep our community free from  crime.
Yours faithfully,
(Name and address
