They arrested and detained the driver, a 24-year-old male on charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition and possession of a hijacked vehicle.

Khayelitsha, Delft, and Nyanga are among them.Allen has emphasised the importance of teamwork in the fight against crime. “We will be convening an urgent engagement with relevant stakeholders to interrogate these results. As much as the law enforcement component will be discussed, there will also be a particular focus on violence prevention. We will also continue to amend the operations of our 1 200 LEAP officers that work in partnership with the City of Cape Town so that they respond directly to the current needs.”
