High density police operations and patrols undertaken by police stations across the Nelson Mandela Bay metro most certainly yielded the desired results.
This weekend’s operations, from 15-18 July 2022, resulted in the arrest of 83 suspects for crimes ranging from murder, attempted murder illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, possession of drugs, contravention of the Liquor Act, among others.
Two firearms; gas guns, dagga, tik, mandrax, liquor and cocaine were also confiscated.
NMB District Commissioner, Maj Gen Vuyisile Ncata headed some of the operations in hotspot areas in some of the stations.
The operations focused mainly on taverns, drug posts, firearms and wanted suspects. The District Commissioner was accompanied by the Station Commanders in some policing areas.
