The Overstrand K9 and Rural Safety Unit once again made major breakthroughs in the fight against crime.
During various operations along the R42, R44 and R320 the Overstrand units arrested four people.
Two were arrested for possession of an unlicensed firearm and two others were on separate occasions arrested for dealing in drugs.
The units also confiscated one unlicensed firearm, two cellphones, 521 Mandrax tablets and a total of R1 650 in cash.
The Provincial Minister of Police Oversight and Community Safety, Reagen Allen, welcomed these successes.
He said: “The continued hard work and sustained pressure ensures that criminals realise that our units are solely focussed on creating safer communities and eradicating any and all criminal activities.
“I urge our community members to work with the various agencies, along with our neighbourhood watches, community policing forums (CPFs) and all other law-abiding entities so we do not allow criminals to become comfortable in any of our areas.”
