Officers also responded to reports of firearm pointing and shots fired in the same area, though both complaints were investigated and found to be without substance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seven Section 22 stop-and-search operations were conducted between Gelvandale and Algoa Park, with all targeted addresses either gang-affiliated or known drug distribution points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The afternoon brought more significant results when a suspect tracing operation was conducted at 15:00 by the Provincial Anti-Gang Unit Combat Team, the SANDF, and the Gelvandale Crime Prevention Unit in Helenvale. Three suspects were located and detained on murder and abduction charges, whilst a white Ford Bantam bakkie was seized as evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images
