Alleged explosive device found at Cape Town's Jewish Community Centre

Cape Town’s Metro Police are reportedly assisting SAPS’ investigation into an alleged explosive device found at the Jewish Community Centre, last Friday.

It is alleged that the device had been thrown over the front wall of the Jewish Community Centre in Hatfield Street, Cape Town.

‘’Since then, the Cape Town Metro Police has assisted SAPS with the analysis of CCTV footage to get to the bottom of the incident, with the City's support for the investigation being coordinated by the Safety & Security Information Management Services (SSIMS). While SAPS has not officially confirmed the nature of the device, they have handed the file over to the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks), indicating they view the matter with seriousness,’’ said Cape Town Mayor, Geordin Hill-Lewis.

‘’Should the SAPS investigation confirm that this was an attempted attack on the Jewish Community Centre, I know I would speak for all Capetonians in condemning such an attempt in the strongest possible terms,’’ he added.

Hawks is probing the matter
