Police target illegal liqour outlets, seize lots of dagga
The police spent their Sunday knocking on the doors of suspected criminals, and in the process uncovered a few interesting things.
Kagiso Police are appealing to residents to stay out of trouble as they will have no mercy with lawbreakers.
These are the words of Kagiso Police spokesperson, Captain Solomon Sibiya after members spent Sunday, August 15 knocking on every door where suspicious criminal activities had been reported.
They also conducted searches at these addresses, and the Kagiso Detectives traced suspects.
“During such disruptive and vigorous searches, large amounts of dagga were uncovered at the Madala hostel, as well as liquor at illegal outlets in the township.”
Sibiya said these disruptive searches were directed at street corners where drug users and peddlers are said to hang out.
“More people were arrested for possession of dagga, possession and dealing in liquor without licences, assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm, common assault and theft.”
The Kagiso Police station commander, Brigadier Themba Maduna said these operations are here to stay and they will do everything necessary to restore order in the area.
“This is a promise, not a threat,” Maduna.
