In ensuring that offenders are brought to book, detectives across Nelson Mandela Bay achieved significant successes in arresting 40 suspects within 8 hours. An operation was conducted on 29 December 2020 from 23:00 until 07:00 on 30 December 2020. The focus of the operation was to ensure that suspects wanted on serious and violent cases were arrested.

The arrested suspects were wanted for crimes ranging from theft, house robberies, business robberies, housebreaking, assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, assault common as well as petty crimes.

All the arrested suspects will appear in their respective courts soon.
