\uf03cOn the same day, police arrested two women, aged 52 and 61, for selling liquor without a licence after searching their home in Lwandle and finding illegal alcohol. The following day (Saturday 1 November), police searched another home in Lwandle and found alcohol was being sold without a licence. This led to the arrest of a 49-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman. All four suspects were released from custody and appeared in the Strand Magistrates’ Court yesterday (Tuesday 4\u2009November).\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\uf03cDie Khayelitsha-polisie se eenheid vir gesinsgeweld, kinderbeskerming en seksuele misdrywe het ‘n ondersoek van stapel gestuur, nadat ‘n 20-jarige vrou beweer het sy is Sondag (2 November) seksueel aangerand. Die voorval het volgens ‘n polisie-verslag om 00:15 by ‘n braai in Sercorpark, Strand, begin toe die verdagte die vrou glo gevra het om saam met hom te gaan om iemand af te laai. Die slagoffer beweer toe hulle alleen in die man se voertuig was, dat hy na ‘n oop veld in Gordonsbaai gery het. D\u00edt is waar die aanranding glo plaasgevind het. Niemand is nog in hegtenis geneem nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\uf03c’n Sewentien-jarige meisie is na bewering die afgelope Saterdag (1 November) om 07:45 seksueel aangerand terwyl sy by ‘n Strand-behuisingskompleks op haar rolskaatse gery het. ‘n Polisieverslag lui die minderjarige was aan die rolskaats toe ‘n onbekende man haar genader en gevra het om saam met hom te kom. Dit word beweer toe sy geweier het, het hy haar aangeval. Die meisie het op haar rolskaatse gevlug, maar die man het haar agtervolg. Die eenheid vir gesinsgeweld, kinderbeskerming en seksuele oortredings hanteer nou die ondersoek. Niemand is nog in hegtenis geneem nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘n Polisiebeampte op patrollie is na die toneel ontbied waar hy ‘n 28-jarige man met ‘n skietwond in die linkerknie aangetref het. Mediese nooddienste het die slagoffer na ‘n hospitaal vir behandeling vervoer. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
