It was reported in the Herald’s March 12 edition, ‘Rise in cases of assault’, how the police intended to visit the area following a spike in violent incidents.
Capt Pearl van Staad, spokesperson for the Brakpan SAPS, told the Herald at the time that all crimes are liquor-related.
With alcohol playing a large role in violence and criminal activities, police are also planning liquor-related operations in the area.
