Northern Cape police arrest over 300 suspects for various offences


Over 300 suspects have been arrested in the Northern Cape for various offences, including murder, attempted murder, assault and drug-related crimes.  

Police conducted compliance inspections at several second-hand goods dealers, liquor outlets, farms, and scrap yards.  

These inspections resulted in the closure of 39 unlicensed liquor premises due to non-compliance.  

Provincial Police Spokesperson, Cherelle Ehlers, has urged motorists to remain vigilant and responsible during the festive season. 

“During roadblocks at vehicle checkpoints, law enforcement apprehended 10 perpetrators for driving under the influence of alcohol. Driving under influence of alcohol, speeding and other traffic related offences will not be tolerated,” says Ehlers.
