Operation Lockdown covering ground and reducing murders in effort to make Cape Town communities safer.
#CrimeMustFall

WESTERN CAPE – With 13 weeks since the inception of Operation Lockdown, a lot of ground has been covered and murders in the Cape Town metro-pole are showing a decline. The road ahead still requires much more than boots on the ground. Thorough planning, much needed intelligence and mutually beneficial partnerships are but some of the ingredients that will set this intervention apart from any other.

A total of 889 arrests for an array of crimes including murder, attempted murder, assault and robbery were executed in the past two weeks. Of the figure, 337 were wanted suspects.

The operations are set to continue in a bid to restore calm to communities plagued by serious violent crimes in Cape Town. Communities are urged to share vital information on crime related issues using the police Crime Stop number 08600 10111. All information shared will be treated confidentially.
