The EMPD will take no prisoners
They warn residents not to do crime during this year's Easter period.
“We will come down on people who transgress the law like a ton of bricks, because we will not take any prisoners this Easter.”
Wilfred Kgasago, spokesman of the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD) warns residents not to do crime during this period.
As the school holidays started yesterday and the Easter weekend starts during the coming week, Kgasago says not only the traffic volumes on the metro’s roads increase, but the residents of Ekurhuleni are excited and in a relaxed mood and often become guilty of illegal activities such as drunken driving.
Therefore the metro police officers will have a zero tolerance approach to drunken and reckless driving, unroadworthy vehicles, illegal fire-arms, stolen vehicles and everyone who is transgressing the law.
He says the metro police officers will, according to the information they have on the crime and speeding hot spots in the metro, conduct several special operations in conjunction with the police and other law enforcers.
