Arrests Continue

The Overstrand and Swartland K-9 and Rural Safety Units once again made major breakthroughs over the past weekend in their respective municipal areas.

The Swartland units arrested nine suspects for various crimes. Amongst these, two males were apprehended for allegedly stabbing one male victim to death.

Other arrests included:

  • six for the possession of dangerous weapons and
  • one female for illegal sale of alcohol

The units also confiscated five knives, one machete, a quarter mandrax and various alcoholic beverages.

During various operations along the R42, R44 and R320, the Overstrand Units arrested four persons. Two suspects were arrested for the possession of an unlicensed firearm. In addition to this, two others were on separate occasions arrested for dealing in drugs.

The units also confiscated:

  • One unlicensed firearm,
  • Two cellphones,
  • 521 mandrax tablets and
  • R 1 650.00 cash.

Minister Reagen Allen said: “I welcome and applaud these successes achieved by our units in the non-metro areas. The continued hard work and sustained pressure ensures that criminals realise that our units are solely focussed on creating safer communities and eradicating any and all criminal activities.”

“I urge our community members to work with the various agencies, along with our neighbourhood watches, community policing forums (CPFs) and all other law-abiding entities so that we do not allow criminals to become comfortable in any of our areas,” concluded provincial Minister Reagen Allen.
