“The crime prevention operation was done to ensure that the community served by the Ekurhuleni North cluster is safe from crime and that criminals are brought to book,” Kempton Park SAPS spokesperson Capt Jethro Mtshali said.
“The operation yielded positive results and about 25 suspects were arrested.”
The suspects were apprehended for various reasons, including possession of drugs, drunken driving, possession of a suspected stolen motor vehicle, malicious damage to property, pointing of a firearm and interfering with police duties.
Mtshali said these kinds of operations would continue in the cluster to protect the community from criminals.
“We want to ensure all the perpetrators of these crimes feel the wrath of the law.”
