Continued interventions and the collecting of intelligence to curb extortion in the Western Cape yielded success when four males were arrested on extortion related charges on Thursday, 13 February 2025.
Members of the Cape Town K9 Unit received information about a grey Toyota Corolla with four occupants in the vehicle who are involved in extortion in the Khayelitsha area. They followed up the information and stopped and searched the vehicle and the occupants in Mew Way.
While searching the vehicle the members found a undisclosed amount of cash in the vehicle of which the occupants could not give account of. The suspects aged between 20 and 40 were arrested and detained.
They are due to appear in the Khayelitsha Magistrates’ court once they have been charged.
