Raids for wanted suspects conducted in Johannesburg, Tshwane, and Ekurhuleni Districts, netted over 99 suspects linked to various crimes. Sixteen (16) more suspects were arrested in Boksburg North including a 43 year old man arrested for possession of unlicensed firearm and ammunition; and 10 for possession of drugs.
Gauteng Provincial Commissioner of police, Lieutenant General Elias Mawela encouraged the integrated deployments to keep up the good work and make sure that criminals understand that the State holds authority over them, not the other way round.
Leading the joint operations this past Thursday 28 March 2019, Gauteng MEC for Community Safety, Ms Sizakele Nkosi-Malobane urged members to continue contributing positively towards ensuring that Gauteng communities are, and feel safe and secured.
“Since its inception, this joint law enforcement operation has yielded positive results. Operation “O kae Molao” continues to demonstrate our commitment in the fight against crime and road safety in line with the Gauteng Safety Strategy.
We will continue to deploy personnel and resources to various areas in the province to address crime and road safety challenges facing our communities,” said MEC Sizakele Nkosi-Malobane.
