More than 300 suspects arrested in Tshwane crime crackdown

The operation, led by Tshwane’s District Commissioner, Major-General Samuel Thine, brought together a coalition of law enforcement agencies, including SAPS, Department of Home Affairs, Tshwane Metro Police, Gauteng Traffic Police, Gauteng Traffic Wardens, and local Community Policing Forum representatives.

SAPS district spokesperson Captain Johan van Dyk stated that the operation was launched on Saturday as part of ongoing efforts under Operation Shanela to disrupt and combat crime in Tshwane.

"This combined effort resulted in the arrest of 343 suspects for various criminal offences. These results are a direct outcome of planning, strategic deployments and heightened visibility aimed at reducing crime and continued track and tracing of wanted suspects," he said.
