“The school was identified as one of the more problematic schools in the Springs precinct,” he says.
“The learners were caught by surprise when the SAPS visited, and the operation yielded good results.”
Two knives, a box of matches and a toy were recovered.
“The operation serves as a deterrent to schoolchildren not to be involved in any criminal activities.
“Staff of the school were thrilled by the performance of the police and applauded them for creating a safer education environment.”
