The Katlehong police have continued their efforts to crack down on crime in the area, through a number of different operations.<\/p>\n
Detectives from the Katlehong Police Station recently mounted one such operation, launching a hunt for a number of wanted suspects.<\/p>
During the operation, six suspects were arrested on various charges, including warrant of arrest, rape, and assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm.<\/p>\n
In addition, three suspects, aged between 21 and 30 years old, were arrested for an armed robbery reported in October.<\/p>
It is alleged that a complainant was walking home from a local tavern at about 1am when he was robbed at gunpoint by the three accused.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe told officers while opening the case that he was forced to lie down while the men searched him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey made off with R860,\u201d said Capt Mega Ndobe, from the Ekurhuleni West Cluster.<\/p>\n
All of the arrested suspects were held at the Katlehong Police Station.<\/p>\n
They have since appeared in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court, where their cases were postponed for various reasons.<\/p>\n
