Ekurhuleni North SAPS Cluster had their hands full this past weekend as they worked hand in hand to ensure that robberies, assaults and accidents are kept in check.
According to the Ivory Park SAPS communication officer Captain Bernard Matimulane, they achieved this by embarking on roadblocks, operations and increased visibility in the cluster comprising of nine police stations.
“In the process, a total of 48 suspects were arrested on suspicion of driving motor vehicles while under the influence of alcohol, while three transgressors were issued with fines by the Rabie Ridge SAPS for operating unlicensed liquor outlets, while Kempton Park SAPS and Ivory Park SAPS managed to nab four suspects for the alleged possession of stolen motor vehicles. Three were arrested by Kempton Park SAPS while one was arrested in Ivory Park,” said Matimulane.
Matimulane added while on the issue of dangerous crimes, two suspects are also behind bars for the alleged illegal possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition and one suspect is in custody in connection with a rape incident.
“A further nine suspects have been arrested for alleged possession of drugs and the other two were arrested for fraud. All of these suspects are expected to appear in the Kempton Park and Tembisa Magistrate’s Courts this week,” said Matimulane.
