Numerous arrested in SAPS operation

A two day multi-disciplinary operation resulted in the arrest of 134 suspects as well as the recovery of stolen vehicles and drugs. The operation was led by deputy provincial commissioner, Major General Thulani Gonya and conducted within the eThekwini district on Thursday, 29 October and Friday, 30 October.

“A large delegation of police officers locked down major routes around the city, as detectives led a search for wanted suspects.  The operation, which consisted of roadblocks, suspect raids, raids on liquor outlets as well as stop and search operations, resulted in the arrest of suspects wanted for murder, attempted murder, domestic violence, rape, driving under the influence of liquor, possession of firearms, possession of drugs and traffic offences among other cases. A suspect who was wanted for a number of fraud cases amounting to more than R10 million was also arrested during the raids. All the arrested suspects will appear in various magistrates courts in the days to come,” said Brigadier Jay Naicker.

KZN provincial commissioner, Lt-Gen Khombinkosi Jula commended the police officers for their commitment in eradicating crime.

“We wish to emphasise that the public can expect to see more of such operations as we approach the festive season. We will lock down various parts of the province to ensure that we limit the movement of criminals,” he said.
