Operation Shanela targets crime hotspots
Honeydew CPF and other law enforcement agencies crack down on crime in the community during successful operation.
The Honeydew Community Police Forum (CPF) has again displayed a lucrative collaboration with police, private security companies, and the Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD).
On September 28, Operation Shanela yielded impressive results, reinforcing the community’s commitment to safety.
Led by Gauteng acting provincial commissioner, Major General Fred Kekana, the operation brought together CPF patrollers, provincial management, senior officers from the Department of Home Affairs, JMPD, private security companies and the Liquor Traders Association, who combined their efforts aimed at addressing various crime hotspots.
The team achieved remarkable success, which includes three identified cases of possession of suspected drugs, 23 incidents of drinking in public, one stolen vehicle recovered, eight individuals taken into custody for driving under the influence, 64 cases of Immigration Act violations and one hijacked vehicle seized.
The CPF expressed gratitude to law enforcement for involving them in the operation.
“These operations demonstrate the power of partnership in combating crime. We are proud to work alongside law enforcement agencies to ensure that our community remains safe,” said CPF public relations officer Michael Steyn.
