For its winter season crime fighting campaigns, Moroka Police Station has already embarked on school search campaign which kicked off on Tuesday.
The first school to be visited by the men in blue was Nghunghunyani High School where drugs, dagga, cigarettes and dangerous weapons were found and confiscated by the police.
The station communications manager John Serala said: “This is a great start to our winter campaigns and we hope and wish that our officers can do well and make sure that schools become places of learning and teaching and not a place for battles and thugs.
“At this school we found four knives, three bags or cocaine and two bags of dagga which the pupils claim that they are selling to other pupils and not using them and we arrested the boys and took them for counselling and soon they will be released into the care of their parents.”
Serala said: “We have been working with JMPD and our trauma centre to make such campaign a great success and we hope that soon other crime fighting agencies will join us so that we can reach many schools and make sure that we remove the hooligans from the classrooms.”
