In the relentless fight against illegal firearms and violence in the city, Cape Town’s Metro Police have had a busy week, apprehending suspects and confiscating firearms across various communities.Metro Police patrolling Manenberg apprehended a suspect and seized a firearm along with 15 rounds of ammunition. While executing arrest warrants in Mfuleni, officers caught a suspect attempting to escape.
The City is ready and willing to contribute to solving the problem by completing criminal investigations, potentially leading to a significant reduction in the workload of SAPS investigators and a higher prosecution rate for violent offenders. The alarming statistic that less than 2% of suspects arrested for firearm-related crimes are successfully prosecuted underscores the urgency of action.
