The City of Cape Town reports that its law enforcement services are actively addressing crime in the metro area. In the past week, teams have apprehended 293 suspects and issued more than 67,000 fines.

This included officers from the law enforcement advancement program who arrested 97 individuals for illegal drug possession.

JP Smith, the Mayco Member for Safety and Security, mentioned that during routine patrols, metro police arrested 54 suspects and issued 3,460 fines.

He stated that the enforcement teams consistently confiscate illegal firearms and drugs, demonstrating the effectiveness of their coordinated crime prevention efforts.

Smith stressed they act swiftly to apprehend criminals, and the increased visibility from community patrols allows officers to catch offenders in the act, including those tampering with city electrical systems, which is a serious violation.
