The determination by detectives of the Provincial Serious Violent Crime Unit to bring perpetrators on the wrong side off the law to book yielded positive results when they arrested four suspects between the ages of 19 and 35 for attempted murder and extortion. The suspects went to a premises in Umfuli Street, Delft where they demanded that the victim pay protection money to them and fired shots on the premises.
Following an intensive investigation by the members, they arrested the suspects in the early hours of Monday morning in Delft.
The suspects are due to make their court appearances in the Bellville Magistrate’s court on Wednesday.
In an unrelated matter members of Operation Restore arrested a 21-year-old man on Sunday evening after they received information about drugs being sold at a premises in Belhar. The members searched the premises and found the male inside the premises. They found 48 packets of crystal meth and an undisclosed amount of cash in his possession.
He will appear in the Bellville Magistrate’s court tomorrow.
