AAG spokesperson Erich Landsberg said the targets were the Orchards’ park near the train station, the Wonderpark Shopping Centre‘s parking lot and an open veld on Heinrich Road.
Nine of those arrested were drug users, while four were dealing in drugs.
“One of the users was released because of his cooperation in leading us to one of the big dealers that was successfully arrested,” he said.

The men were detained by local police before being transferred to the Soshanguve police‘s holding cells, he said.
