Operation Buya Mthetho yields more successes
Two suspects arrested, firearms and drugs confiscated
The Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department’s (JMPD) Operation Buya Mthetho yielded more successes.
Operation Buya Mthetho was launched in February this year and is a multi-departmental operation between all key City departments and entities. It is aimed at enforcing by-laws and bringing the rule of law to the City of Johannesburg, and has recorded many successes.
According to JMPD Chief, David Tembe, one suspect was arrested and two firearms were recovered during a joint operation between JMPD K9 officers and members of the Johannesburg Flying Squad. The operation targeted illegal miners and was conducted in Robertville.

“Together we will ensure a safer Johannesburg for all,” Tembe concluded.
