SAPS Bethelsdorp detective members arrested a 26 year old gang member on Friday, 15 January 2016 in Sanctor Bethelsdorp. The suspect was arrested near his home.

It is alleged that on 17 July 2015 at about 20:15 a group of people were standing at a fire in the driveway of a house in Catherine Street Salsonevale. At the time an unknown suspect/s approached the group and started shooting at them. Denise Rollison (28 years) was fatally wounded in her head. Her friends Wayne Carelse (25) and Nazier Louwtjie (27) were struck in the face and leg respectively.
