The suspects were charged for various offences.
Charges included sexual assault, assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm, common assault, theft, possession of suspected property, shoplifting, contravening a court order, child neglect, dealing in drugs and driving under the influence of alcohol.
Katlehong SAPS station commander Brig Sammy Thambo assured the community that he will deploy as many police officers as he can to Katlehong’s known crime hot spots, as this approach has yielded results.
All of the arrested suspects appeared in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court, where their cases were postponed for various reasons.
