SAPS enhances resources to ensure regular highway patrols and monitoring

The National Commissioner of the SAPS, General Fannie Masemola has ordered the maximum mobilisation of resources along Gauteng highways and other strategic locations during peak hour traffic.

The SAPS has also bolstered the deployment of the Highway Patrol, SAPS Airwing, and Gauteng Flying Squad units to monitor and conduct regular patrols along the identified routes. This is after a video and voice note emerged on various platforms depicting suspects allegedly robbing motorists.

Since yesterday afternoon, no cases had been reported yet and it is on this basis that the SAPS encourages anyone that has fallen victim to this alleged crime to call the Johannesburg Central Police Station Commander on 0823325016 for better coordination and prompt dispatching of resources.

Engagements with the JMPD and other law enforcement agencies are ongoing in an effort to curb further incidents.SAPS tracking teams are on the ground searching for these suspects.
