Members worked tirelessly last night in ensuring that the community is safe and secured, all problematic taverns were visited and community members were warned not to drink in public. In the Dimbaza area, a tavern was closed for noncompliance and police ensured that the customers left the tavern.

The Cluster Commander Brigadier Luntu Ngubelanga thanked the members for their dedication in these operations and encouraged them to do more. Our presence and patrols in our policing precincts with blue lamps give hope to the community and together with the community members we can conquer crime in our policing precincts, he concluded.
The suspects will appear at King Williams Town and Dimbaza Magistrate Courts.
