In line with our Back to Basics approach to policing and as part of providing responsive policing to bring down the level of serious and other crimes, police officials in the Uitenhage Cluster continued with their operational duties, which yielded good results. 154 suspects were arrested for various offences including murder, rape, robbery, assault with the intent to do grievous bodily harm, house-breaking and theft, malicious damage to property and theft.
The South African Police Service wants to encourage the community to work with the SAPS in reducing crime and they appeal to the community to join their local Community Policing Forum. With the support and involvement of the community, the police will be in a position to meet the safety and security needs of the community. Contact your local police station for more information.
