A swift joint operation between the Rensburg Forum and SAPS Heidelberg has resulted in arrests and the confiscation of suspected illegal drugs and stolen property in the Heidelberg area.

The operation was launched after a concerned community member reported suspected drug-related activity in Rensburg.
