\u201cAs soon as the docket is registered and the suspect is known, police must immediately go out to arrest a suspect,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He further encouraged the community to not withdraw cases at the police station.<\/p>\n

\u201cCases should only be withdrawn through the courts and not at the police station,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe continuous withdrawal of cases can result in an increase in false cases being opened.\u201d<\/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
