With the festive season in full swing, top Honeydew Police cop, Brigadier Anesh Maharaj has wished all residents a safe and happy festive season.
“On behalf of the station management and personnel of the Honeydew Police Station, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all community members a safe, joyous and peaceful festive season. The community can be rest assured that the police and other law enforcement partners will be out in full force to ensure that everyone feels safe around Honeydew policing precinct,” the station commander promised.
He explained that they have already commenced with their festive season operations and have recorded a number of successes thus far, which include, house robbery, possession of unlicensed firearms, dealing in drugs, dealing in dagga, assaults, undocumented persons, illegal shebeens raids, and other serious crimes.
