.DURBAN - Two men who are believed to be linked to a spate of attacks on e-hailing taxi drivers in Durban have been arrested.
They were nabbed following a sting operation by two quick-thinking officers in Mayville.
Mayville SAPS and eThekwini Cluster Community Policing Forum (CPF) chairperson, Imtiaz Syed, said a driver received a request to pick up a passenger, but when he got to the meeting place he did not feel comfortable, and drove on, he said.
“He spotted police officers who were conducting a stop and search on the road and told them that when he stopped for the client, he noticed that the man was not alone and he seemed suspicious.
“He asked the officers to check out the passengers before he picked them up,” Syed said.
The officers then suggested that the driver go back and pick up the men and they would orchestrate a stop and search once they were picked up. Syed said the driver complied and collected the three passengers.
