Road safety education, awareness campaigns and law-enforcement operations have been intensified earlier in the month of January as the country is in the midst of its peak travel period.
On Wednesday, 20 January, Honeydew Police, Honeydew Community Policing Forum (CPF), and tracking and security companies huddled up to address housebreakings and vehicle-related crimes in Weltevreden Park.
A crime-awareness roadblock was conducted in Sector 2, JG Strydom Road, Weltevreden Park in the presence of relevant law-enforcement agencies.
During the roadblock 102 vehicles were stopped and 196 people searched, and crime-awareness pamphlets were handed out to the motorists on the day.
The three occupants of one of the vehicles that was pulled over at the roadblock were taken to the Honeydew Police Station for questioning regarding the vehicle they were driving.
“Overall this was a successful operation and showed a force of strength between all the different members.
“We wish to thank all members who took part in this operation,” said Honeydew CPF Public Relations Officer, Michael Steyn.
