Gauteng Police Commissioner, He says police, working with metro police and security companies, have put plans in place to crack down on extortion syndicates across the province.
“Gauteng was the only province which managed to reduce 16 of the 17-community reported serious crimes in the country. We are a heavyweight province, but we have been sustaining our contributions to the national crime statistic at least at less than 30%. For the quarter under review, we have contributed 26,9% to the national overall crime picture,” says Mthombeni.
