Illegal dumping culprits caught in Capital Park
The suspects will face a fine of R2 500 for illegal dumping and also a fine of R7 500 for the impounded vehicle used to carry out the illegal activity.
Alleged illegal dumping suspects were caught red-handed on Monday, thanks to the quick response of the Capital Park CPF and metro police.
The suspects will face a fine of R2 500 for illegal dumping and also a fine of R7 500 for the impounded vehicle used to carry out the illegal activity.
This was the third incident of illegal dumping in the area since the start of December, in which suspects were caught in the act.
Ward councillor Elma Nel commended the work done by the CPF and metro police to keep the area clean.
She believed the recent arrests would deter people from illegally dumping trash or rubble in the area in future.
“Ward one is definitely not an ideal place to consider illegal dumping as our respective CPF structures are alert,” Nel said.
“Thanks to this and the speedy reaction of the TMPD, culprits were apprehended and their vehicles impounded and fines were issued.”
Nel said the CPF has continuously increased its visibility in the area, which has in turn kept crime at bay.
She also encouraged residents to use legitimate dump sites in surrounding areas to avoid finding themselves on the wrong side of the law.
