The Honeydew Police Station is celebrating a week of successes after the arrest of 50 suspects for various crimes during the period of 24 to 30 August.
Spokesperson Captain Balan Muthan said, “We would like to congratulate our police members for making a large number of arrests in such a short period of time. These arrests are for multiple crimes.”
Some of the 50 arrests include:
• Robbery
• Hijacking
• Possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition
• Assault
• Sexual assault
• Assault with grievous bodily harm
• Malicious damage to property
Muthan said that officers of the special Echo Squad have been hard at work planning the operations and bringing down the rate of trio crimes in the area.
Trio crimes include house robbery, business robbery and vehicle hijacking.
“Members of our Echo Squad followed up on information received to arrest numerous suspects. One of the biggest successes of this week’s efforts was the arrest of suspects involved in robbery in the area.
“All arrested suspects will appear in court once investigation is complete as many are being linked to other crimes in other areas.”
