Over 200 arrested in Pretoria pre-festive operations
High police visibility on major routes and in shopping malls led to numerous arrests around the city.
Police spokesperson Constable Tumisang Moloto said the operations involved high police visibility on major routes and in shopping malls.
“As we continued to embark on gender-based violence campaigns, we issued thousands of pamphlets with valuable information at the Bloed, Quagga and Atlyn malls,” he said.
Moloto said 250 people were arrested for various crimes ranging from housebreaking, theft, possession of unlicensed firearms, possession of drugs, common assaults, assaults with intentions to cause grievous bodily harm, malicious damage to property, hijacked vehicle, drunk driving and contravention of lockdown regulations.
All suspects will appear before Atteridgeville and Pretoria magistrates’ court soon.
