The Mitchell’s Plain Policing Forum has
raised its concern regarding reports of the low conviction rate for
gang-related murders in the Western Cape
It
has been reported that between 2011 and 2013 there were 950 reported gang
related murders in the province with a 4 percent conviction rate.
Mitchell’s Plain CPF’s Abie Isaacs said
they want to applaud the urgencies for the successfully arrests.
"As we have been saying all the time as the
Policing Forum we do acknowledge and do understand the independence of
judiciary but we still have a concern in terms of low conviction specifically
gang related.” Issacs added.
On Tuesday, the Democratic Alliance called
for the better use of the Asset Forfeiture Unit to fight gang-related crime.
