During the operation two arrests were made. A total of 996 illegal street hawker’s goods was confiscated and 1 588 counterfeit DVDs were found. Both arrests were made for dealing in counterfeit goods.
According to Captain Appel Ernst, Randfontein Police spokesperson,
Similar operations will be conducted throughout the Randfontein area.”
Brigadier Mashole Jacob Manamela, Randfontein Station Commander, congratulated all the law enforcement officers who formed part of the initiative.
