Tshwane district police spokesperson Johan van Dyk said in response to a noticeable increase in crime in the western corridor of Tshwane, acting district commissioner Samuel Thine had conducted an extensive analysis of crime patterns over time.“To effectively combat and reduce crime, Brigadier Thine initiated a stabilisation operation, which was meticulously planned and executed on Saturday, 13 July, in the western parts of Tshwane.
“We should understand the administration of the criminal justice system, random arrests do not determine prosecutions.
