Officers from the Katlehong SAPS Crime Prevention Unit, with help from detectives from the Katlehong Police Station, arrested six suspects, last Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The arrests were made during several stop-and-search operations and routine patrols in the area.<\/p>
The accused were arrested for various offences.<\/p>\n
Charges included: assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm, common assault, domestic violence, reckless and negligent driving, dealing in dagga and possession of drugs.<\/p>
All of the arrested suspects appeared in the Palm Ridge Magistrate\u2019s Court where their cases were postponed for a number of different reasons.<\/p>\n
