Operation Vhuthu Hawe conducts roadblock in Albertsdal

Members of Brackendowns SAPS Vispol collaborated in an operation with CPF and AfriForum to combat crime in the community on April 1.

The vehicle-control point (VCP) crime prevention operation was held in Eekhoring Street, Albertsdal. VCP is similar to a roadblock.

The focus of the prevention was on vehicle-related offences, substance abuse, illegal firearm ownership and driving while under the influence of alcohol.

A VCP awareness campaign had also been conducted via handouts, focusing on car theft and robberies.

The Brackendowns SAPS station commander, Col Munaf Ismail, thanked all community members and partners for their fight against crime.
