[schumi]

Cape Town - Numbers gangs in Pollsmoor Prison have caused havoc this week as members from the 26s and 28s battle.

On Monday night, inmates being held in the Medium B section of the jail set alight mattresses to prevent Correctional Services officials and police from raiding a cell.

The convicts attacked officials with boiling water and sticks and also threw liquid on the floor to keep them out.

Pollsmoor communications manager Lewies Davids says the raid comes after information was received about knives being kept in the cell.

Fighting between and among the gangs flared up on Monday, 13 August, when one offender was stabbed. On 17 August, a 28s member stabbed another 28, and both landed in hospital. On 18 August, a group of 26s ambushed eight 28s gang members, stabbing and assaulting them. On 19 August, a 26 gang leader was assaulted, stabbed and robbed by his own gang.

“All these incidents over the past week raised an alarm and has led to the intervention by the regional commissioner to conduct a joints search operation at Pollsmoor Medium B.
