Three arrests over five days in Bellville and Parow

The Voortrekker Road Corridor Improvement District (VRCID) said three arrests over a five-day period had recently highlighted the importance of public vigilance and ongoing efforts to combat crime in the Bellville and Parow areas.

The first incident occurred in the early hours of 17 July, when VRCID Public Safety Officers Sive Gqweta and Thabo Thomsana were conducting patrols on the corner of Voortrekker Road and Van Eyssen Street, Parow. After noting suspicious behaviour among three men, officers attempted to conduct a stop-and-search. One suspect fled the scene but was quickly apprehended. An imitation firearm was found in his possession and he was arrested after being handed over to the Parow police.
