Police officials in the Uitenhage Cluster conducted various operational activities over the past weekend, to ensure that they accomplish their mission to prevent and combat criminal acts that may threaten the safety and security of communities. Several successful operations were conducted which yielded good results. A total of 156 suspects were arrested on charges ranging from vehicle hijacking, house robbery, murder, attempted murder, possession of drugs, possession of suspected stolen property, burglary, assault with the intent to do grievous bodily harm and theft.

Fifteen (15) suspects were arrested for the illegal possession of drugs. 27 Traffic related fines were issued, valued at more than R13 500-00 and two persons were arrested on a charge of driving under the influence of liquor. The SAPS 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 those involved in crime.
