Crime operation in the Blue Downs Cluster netted seven suspects with firearms and drugs

WESTERN CAPE– In our pursuit to root out crime in our communities, an intelligence driven operation in the Blue Downs Cluster secured the arrest of seven suspects for being in possession of firearms, ammunition and drugs last night.

Information was operationalized which led our members to an address in Santo Albertos Street in Conifers where a 49-year-old female and two males aged 24 and 32 were arrested for being in possession of two zip guns (handmade firearms), a R5 round, tik and mandrax tablets.

From there the operation proceeded to Courtesy Street Mfuleni where a 20-year-old man was arrested with mandrax tablets, dagga and tik.

In Afadjato Street Delft two male suspects aged 26 and 28 were arrested with an unlicensed 7.65mm pistol, five rounds of ammunition, tik and mandrax tablets.

Our final search was conducted in Anreith Street Belhar where a 21-year-old man was arrested for being in possession of mandrax tablets.

The suspects are due to make their respective court appearances in Blue Downs once they have been charged.
These crime operations are far from over and criminals can expect that we will be turning up the heat in our endeavours to create a safer environment for the people of the Western Cape.
