The Mauritian capital, Port-Louis, and Grand Baie, a tourist village in the north of the island, will soon be equipped with surveillance cameras with the support of China as part of the government's stepped-up fight against crime, a official source told PANA. A Chinese technical team has arrived in Mauritius for talks on the installation with the Mauritian authorities. A government official said the cameras would be set up in key areas such as the port, the main market and the main roads in the capital to help security services monitor the main public complexes in Port-Louis, including commercial banks, the government house, buildings of some big companies and public places. In Grand-Baie, he said, hotels and other "risk" places would be monitored by the security forces through the cameras. "These cameras will be the major tools for the police in tracking down thieves and other criminals. We have already had a first result with the arrest within a very short period of four suspects involved in a gang rape on a public beach two weeks ago," he said.
