The City of Cape Town’s metro police were on high alert this weekend, which resulted in the arrest of 26 offenders. Twenty one people were arrested for drunken driving while 5 were arrested for the possession of illegal substances. Between Friday morning and Saturday night, metro police operated in the Helderberg and Goodwood areas.

Media spokesperson for Metro Police, Nowellyn Petersen says that the offenders have been handed over to the South African Police services, who will take the case further.
“We have seen that the men were arrested. We now hand them over to the South African Police Service (SAPS), who see that they get through the judicial process. Once they have been handed over to the judicial process, it is then up to the magistrate and judicial department to decide what they are going to do with the case,” said Petersen.
