Over a hundred suspects were arrested during a provincial police operation in the Cape Peninsula which ended early yesterday morning.
The police spokesperson Superintendent André Traut says 280 additional police members complemented the existing deployment of weekend staff.
“The objective of the operation was to minimize the occurrence of serious and violent crimes in the run-up to the festive season, and to ensure that the people of the Western Cape can experience the dedication of our members to protect and to serve the respective communities,” Traut said.
The 86 additional police vehicles were assisted by two helicopters.
Random vehicle stop and searches were conducted at various locations.
Traut says criminals can expect many similar operations in the run-up to the festive season.
