The networks of criminals continue to be dismantled as police work hard to make an impact through partnering with members of the public with a clear mandate to clamp down on crime.
This has been evident with the arrest of a suspect in possession of a firearm with ammunition.
A 29-year-old male
suspect was apprehended at Balfour on Tuesday, 16 August 2022.
The arrest of the suspect came after police from Balfour received information about a group of suspects who were driving in a white Toyota Etios and were plotting to rob a local clothing store.
Some members of the community joined hands with the police to assist in preventing this plot by leading police to a suspicious vehicle and its occupants through the information they have provided.
Police are still in pursuit of the remaining suspects.
Members of the community can either call the #CrimeStop number at 08600-10111 or send information via the #MySAPSApp.
