In an effort to curb crime in the community the Katlehong police\u2019s Crime Prevention Unit hosted another successful stop-and-search operation last Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The operation also served as an opportunity for officers to become more visible within the community.<\/p>
The accused were charged with various offences.<\/p>\n
Charges included domestic violence, house break-in and theft, theft of a motor vehicle, possession of counterfeit money, shoplifting, reckless and negligent driving and assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm.<\/p>
Katlehong SAPS\u2019 acting station commander, Col Christan Gcaza, applauded the officers for their good work and encouraged them to continue in 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
