It was all in a day – or rather weekend’s work – for the men and women in blue who arrested 444 suspected criminals in the north of Pretoria.
Tshwane north police stations joined forces to curb crime this weekend and successfully arrested transgressors who threatened the safety of their communities.
The 444 suspects were arrested for various crimes that included attempted murder, rape, contravention of protection orders, kidnapping, possession of drugs, contempt of court and malicious damage to property.
