A JOINT operation was recently held on Main Street in Johannesburg South with the aim to check the alleged illegal businesses in the area.
The raid was held on Friday, November 4 and was conducted jointly between the Moffatview and Booysens South African Police Service (SAPS), Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD), the Environmental Health Department, the Community Policing Forum (CPF) patrollers, the EMS and Ward 56 Councillor Michael Crichton.
During the raid, drugs were discovered on the premises of a club and a tavern was exposed for operating without a liquor licence. This resulted in the tavern’s stock being confiscated.
Other clubs, taverns and restaurants were in violation of various health regulations which resulted in fines being issued to them.
Crichton said: “I am very pleased at the outcome of the operation as it is important that the local businesses on Main Street are complaint with the by-laws and are not a front for other criminal activities. Crime has been out of control in Rosettenville and Kenilworth, and it is time for it to stop.”
He further added that more raids will be held soon. For further enquiries contact Crichton on 083 383 6366.
