Police making an arrest in Woodstock
Police in Cape Town have conducted what they say is an integrated operation between SAPS and other law enforcement agencies in Woodstock just outside the city centre.
Spokesperson Welsey Twigg says this follows numerous complaints involving cyclists and pedestrians who were robbed and injured at Lower Church Street and the N-1 highway.

During this operation, 18 undocumented persons were arrested.
“The members conducted searches and arrested three suspects for the possession on drugs and one for the possession of a dangerous weapon. The suspects will appear in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court on Monday. These operations will continue to clamp down on the crime in the area. We appeal to the public to implement safety measures such as to keep valuable items out of site, walk in groups, be aware of their surroundings,” says Twigg.
