The Katlehong police made 11 arrests during a daily stop-and-search operation last Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The operation was conducted by officers from the Katlehong Crime Prevention Unit and detectives from the Katlehong Police Station.<\/p>
Among the suspects arrested by the team were a 24-year-old woman and a 30-year-old man.<\/p>\n
The pair were originally charged with assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm and had a warrant of arrest issued for them when they failed to appear in the Palm Ridge Magistrate\u2019s Court, as per their bail conditions.<\/p>
The other nine suspects were arrested on charges including domestic violence, common assault and possession of dagga.<\/p>\n
Katlehong SAPS\u2019 acting station commander Col Nomthandeki Mthembu was pleased with the operation\u2019s results and commended the officers for their efforts.<\/p>\n
All of the arrested suspects appeared in the Palm Ridge Magistrate\u2019s Court, where their cases were postponed for various reasons.<\/p>\n
The team will continue to host similar operations in the area.<\/p>\n
