Tsotsotso applauded Sgt Cannection Barresh, Const Cecil Akula, Const Zwelihle Xaba and Const Seshibe for arresting a second group of armed suspects in Cresslawn this July before crimes were committed.
“Sebenza SAPS as a whole is very proud of the officers because by arresting such armed suspects during patrols based on suspicious behaviour, they might have saved the lives of innocent children and adults in our communities,” Tsotsotso concluded.
The suspects from Tembisa will be charged with possession of an unlicensed firearm and possession of a stolen vehicle.
