Tshwane district police nabbed more than 600 suspects in various operations at the weekend.
The district led by Brigadier Mbangwa Nkhwashu painted the streets of Tshwane blue, and tirelessly effected the arrests.
About 188 arrests were made during the O kae Molao high density operation on Friday in the Soshanguve and Rietgat’s precincts.
Among those arrested, 46 were nabbed for gender-based violence while six foreigners were charged for contravening the immigration act, and the rest were for commission of various crimes, said police spokesman Brigadier Brenda Muridili.
The operation also closed several liquor outlets which were operating without valid licences.
“In a different incident across the city, a suspect was also arrested for possession of stolen liquor to the value of R600 000 in the Akasia policing area,” she said.
Muridili said the district police further nabbed suspects for the commission of other crimes during the weekend, which included, theft out of motor vehicle, housebreaking, shoplifting, theft and attempted murder.
All the arrested suspects were due to appear in various magistrate’s courts within the Tshwane district.
