All three suspects, aged 30, 36 and 41, were arrested at different places: Long Street, Swart Street and Marauder Street.

“The operation also focused on raiding liquor outlets which did not comply with the Liquor Act and fines were handed to them. About 102 people were searched during the operation,” Mtshali confirmed.

The police were joined by other law enforcement agencies such as private security companies, neighbourhood watches and community policing forum members in the patrol around Kempton.
