The South African Police Service’s (SAPS) nationwide Safer Festive Season operations, alongside Operation Shanela II, continue to gain momentum with some 24 910 suspects arrested during the past 14 days.

Among those arrested are 2 680 wanted suspects who were traced and arrested in different parts of the country for various serious and violent crimes.

“Parallel to these operations, SAPS maintained heightened police visibility at voting stations across the country.

“In one incident, police in Limpopo arrested two women in Khomisani and Mankweng for allegedly photographing their marked ballot papers, a contravention of the Electoral Act,” police said in a statement.

In another incident, police in KwaZulu-Natal opened a case of burglary for investigation after voting materials belonging to the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) were reportedly stolen from a voting station in Hillcrest.

“These achievements demonstrate the SAPS’ continued commitment to disrupting criminal networks, apprehending wanted suspects and ensuring the safety and security of communities across the country,” the police said. – SAnews.gov.za
