Police continued their efforts to increase their visibility in Katlehong South.
During a stop-and-search held recently by members of the Katlehong police’s Crime Prevention Unit and members of the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) Unit 10 suspects were arrested.
The 10 suspects were charged for various crimes including common assault, malicious damage to property, theft of a motor vehicle, possession of drugs and rape.
The most notable of the arrests was the suspect arrested for rape, as the FCS members were able to link him to several other cases at different police stations.
“Details on the accused have not been released as the cases are currently under investigation,” said Capt Mega Ndobe, communications officer for the Katlehong police.
The accused are expected to appear in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court soon.
