Numerous suspects were arrested in Chris Hani District, Eastern Cape, for being in possession of drugs, suspected stolen goods or property, assault, common robbery and selling liquor without license.
The arrests are part of the
province’s Vala Konke operation to maintain law and order in the respective
police stations and ensure that less crime is committed during the weekend.
“Police filled up the space so that
less crime can be committed and the citizens feel safe and secure. During their
tour of duty, they also checked the compliance on taverns and closed the
shebeens and liquor was confiscated. In an effort to fight crime police also
confiscated dangerous weapons during the stop and search,” said Captain Siphokazi Mawisa
The suspects will appear in
the Christ Hani district's Magistrates Courts on Wednesday.
The presence of the SAPS in
the different town to combat crime was very much appreciated by the Christ Hani
district Mayor General Rudolph Adolph.
