Police officers from the Durban Central Crime Prevention Unit arrested four suspects for possession of drugs, illegal immigration, and bribery. The suspects aged between 27 and 38 are expected to appear before Durban Magistrate’s Court today.
Yesterday at 16:00, the police officers were in a police vehicle parked along Bertha Mkhize Road in Durban CBD when an unknown person disposed of R500-00 wrapped in plastic and walked away. When the police officers asked him what the money was for, he just jumped into his vehicle and drove off. The police officers chased the vehicle and managed to stop it and conducted a search.
Last night at 23:30, detectives from the Provincial Organised Crime Investigations, Crime Intelligence, National Intervention Unit and Metro police proceeded to Wentworth and Montclair to execute a search warrant and a warrant of arrest.
The team proceeded to Pirie Road in Wentworth where a search was conducted at the premises. Upon searching the house, police found a vehicle hidden in the garage with bullet holes and blood stains. No one was in the house and the vehicle was impounded by police for further investigation. The recovered vehicle is positively linked to a drive-by shooting that was perpetrated in Woodville Road in Wentworth this month.
