Western Cape police are seriously tackling criminal activities recently carried out in Browns Farm, Nyanga, one of the most dangerous precincts in SA.
Seven people were arrested last week in Nyanga on the charges of rape, murder and hijacking.
Following an incident that involved the murder of a 28-year-old man who was stabbed multiple times in the course of an argument in Boys Town, Crossroads, Nyanga, a 56-year-old woman and two men aged 19 and 17 were arrested on Thursday.
Police spokesperson Mihlali Majikela said the 17-year-old appeared in the Athlone magistrate’s court on Friday on a charge of murder. The other two suspects were expected to appear in the same court on Monday.
Three other suspects were also arrested in Browns Farm on Friday following a reckless driving incident in which an allegedly hijacked Toyota Avanza collided with a vehicle in Colorado, Browns Farm.
“During the incident, the three suspects managed to flee the scene but one suspect was arrested. It was discovered the Toyota Avanza was reported hijacked in Gugulethu early that month,” said Majikela.
The three suspects, aged between 18 and 23, appeared in the Athlone magistrate’s court on a charge of hijacking on Friday.
Police also made progress in a rape case after they arrested a 26-year-old suspect who allegedly raped his girlfriend in Browns Farm. The suspect also appeared in the Wynberg magistrate’s court on Friday.
