Endeavours to fight the scourge of gangsterism and crimes associated with gangs are proving to be successful in Mitchell’s Plain, Cape Town.
On Friday night, members of the Provincial Reaction Team conducted search operations in Mitchells Plain. They had received information on drugs from the public.
According to police spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Andrè Traut, they first visited a house along Wemmershoek Street, Tafelsig.
