While many Katlehong residents cast their votes in the 2019 national and provincial elections, on Wednesday, the Katlehong police were hard at work.<\/p>\n
Members of the Katlehong SAPS Crime Prevention Unit, with the help of detectives from the Katlehong Police Station, arrested four suspects.<\/p>
The arrests were made during several stop-and-search operations in the precinct.<\/p>\n
The accused were arrested for various offences.<\/p>
Charges included malicious damage to property, defeating the ends of justice, impersonating a police officer and possession of drugs.<\/p>\n
Katlehong SAPS station commander Brig Sammy Thambo thanked everyone who contributed to the successful arrests.<\/p>\n
He further encouraged the community to not turn a blind eye when it comes to crime and to rather assist police in the fight against crime.<\/p>\n
The arrested suspects appeared in the Palm Ridge Magistrate\u2019s Court, where their cases were postponed for various reasons.<\/p>\n
