Over the course of the weekend’s operations, 400 people were arrested, five illegal firearms were recovered and thousands of rands of drugs were confiscated.
“Since we are here in the past four days of operations, 400 people have been arrested and 36 of those are for outstanding serious cases, including murder and rape. Last night alone five illegal firearms with 2,000 bullets were found. Some have fake licenses and we are following all those things.
“We believe the impact of extra police officers walking and entering houses and going into shebeens does help with a reduction in crime,” said Cele.
