The commitment of police members to eradicate the unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition as well as the possession of drugs, resulted in the detention of two suspects on Sunday 16 February 2025, when they were found in possession of ammunition and drugs in isolated incidents.
Delft Crime Prevention Unit was busy with high density patrols in the policing precinct when they responded to a complaint. Upon entering Krokedil Street, Leiden, they pounced on an address where they searched the entire area. Their persistence were rewarded when they recovered a small quantity of ammunition hidden inside the garage on the premises. The owner of the premises could not account for the ammunition as he was not in possession of a valid license to possess the ammunition. They detained the adult male for the unlawful possession of ammunition.
Meanwhile Grassy Park police members conducted stop and search operations in the gang infested areas. When they entered Weltevrede court, they saw a suspicious female whom they approached and searched, which led to the confiscation of a small quantity of mandrax tablets found in her possession. They arrested the 17-year-old female for the possession of drugs.
Once charged the suspects are expected to make their respective court appearances in the Bellville and Wynberg Magistrates’ Courts on the mentioned charges.
