According to Florida police station commander, Colonel Amos Tsotsetsi, the police acted on intelligence that strongly indicated that illegal activities were taking place in the village.

"We managed to close down an illegal shebeen and confiscate a significant amount of alcohol and some dagga. We arrested the operator of the illegal shebeen," he says.

Tsotsetsi said police also came across several undocumented people, but decided to not arrest them, as most of them had minor children.
