Duduza police spokesperson Sergeant Harry Manaka said the large contingent of officers then saturated Duduza, conducting stop-and-searches of vehicles and persons.
“Dagga and drugs were seized during raids at hotspots. Two suspects were arrested for dealing and possession of drugs. The introduction of wardens is a welcomed force multiplier that will seek to address various challenges relating to crime.
“All stakeholders remain committed to providing a high quality of service to ensure the safety of the community,” he added.
