In order to prevent and combat crime that may threaten the safety and security of community members, police officials from the Uitenhage Cluster performed their duties in line with the Back to Basics approach. Members continued to clamp down on criminal activities over the past weekend, Friday, 23 June 2017 until Monday, 26 June 2017 and it resulted in the arrest of a total of 108 suspects on various charges. These arrests include murder, robbery, assault with the intent to do grievous bodily harm, theft and the possession of suspected stolen goods. 15 Suspects were arrested for the illegal possession of drugs and nine (9) persons were arrested for driving under the influence of liquor. A total of 31traffic fines were issued, valued at more than R15 500.

The South African Police Service wants to encourage the community to work with the SAPS in reducing crime and they appeal to the community to provide valuable information that will lead to the arrest of suspects. Let us work together to take #DrugsOffTheStreets. The more you know about drugs, the more you will be able to protect yourself against them.

Let us share information and support each other in the fight against crime by providing information on criminal activities to Crime Stop 08600 10111 or Crime Line SMS 32211.
