Members of Operation Restore were conducting patrols in
Sweet Home Farms informal settlement on Monday morning at about 00:30 when they
were stopped by a member of the community who had a domestic violence related
complaint.
The members assisted the complainant and went with her to
her residence. The members found a male inside the house and was pointed out by
the complainant as the suspect. The members wanted to search him but he refused
and pulled out a firearm and pointed it at the members. A scuffle between the
suspect and the members ensued and he was apprehended and the firearm
recovered.
A 36 year old male
was arrested on charges of domestic violence, pointing of a firearm and attack
on police.
The suspect is due to make a court appearance in the
Philippi Magistrates court once he has been charged.
