A dedicated team of police has been set up to tackle crime and put away transgressors.
With the increase in crime in Loate and Rietgat policing precincts, the need to address these challenges has been identified.

A dedicated team has been assembled to tackle these incidents and apprehend the perpetrators.
“The teams will be under the baton of Major-General Azwinndini Nengovhela,” Van Dyk said.
The operations have been divided into two phases.
Van Dyk said in phase one, detectives and crime intelligence personnel will recruit informers and gather, verify and analyse information.

Vehicle checkpoints and high-density operations with maximised personnel in the hotspots are at the top of the list.
