“The Gauteng Rapid Response Unit recovered over R330 000 worth of stolen property and drugs and made 10 arrests in the past few weeks as a result of Crime Line tip-offs,” said director Yusuf Abramjee.<\/p>\n
He said that all those arrested were linked to organised crime.<\/p>\n
In November, Brixton Police received a tip-off about suspected drug dealing.<\/p>\n
They subsequently found cocaine worth R100 000, cameras, plasma televisions and other electronic goods.<\/p>\n
In another case, Katlehong police received a tip-off about stolen goods being harboured in a nearby house. There, R500,00 of designer label clothing, shoes and watches were recovered.<\/p>\n
Two suspects were arrested on the scene and taken into police custody.<\/p>\n
National Police Commissioner Bheki Cele was encouraged by the growing partnership between the public, police and media.<\/p>\n
“The latest Crime Line breakthroughs are yet another example of how we can all work together,” Cele said.<\/p>\n
