TMPD arrest foreign nationals for various crimes
All suspects are expected to appear in court soon.
A Pretoria North operation led to the arrest of two foreign nationals for dealing drugs with a street value of R30 000 on Tuesday, February 21.
The suspects were found in the possession of crystal meth and CAT by the Tshwane metro police drug unit.
On the same day, the drug unit responded to a tip-off about a group of men who were robbing local spaza shops in Hammanskraal.
The team managed to apprehend four men who were found with stolen property and an unlicensed firearm.
It was also discovered that all suspects were illegal immigrants, who were arrested.
TMPD spokesperson Isaac Mahamba praised the team and highlighted that the metro police will continue to fight crime in Tshwane.
All suspects that were arrested are expected to appear in court soon.
Residents are urged to report any suspicion of fraud, corruption or other irregular conduct to the Anti-fraud and Corruption Hotline on 080 TSHWANE (080 874 9263).
