A joint operation between the SAPS and the army resulted in four gang and drug-related arrests in Gqeberha on Friday.

Police said three search warrants were executed in the Gelvandale area, resulting in one arrest for possession of Mandrax.

A suspect tracing operation conducted by the provincial SAPS anti-gang unit combat team, the army, and the Gelvandale SAPS crime prevention unit in Hellenvale located three suspects. They were detained on murder and abduction charges, and a Ford Bantam bakkie was seized.

Police said operations will continue in identified hotspots.
