All of the arrested suspects appeared in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court, where their cases were postponed for various reasons.
The acting station commander for the Katlehong SAPS, Col Nomthandeki Mthembu, was impressed with the unit’s efforts and encouraged them to continue their hard work, with some more attention given to hijackings and robberies in the area.
“Together we can bring the level of crime down,” said Mthembu.
