A total of 1,443 fines of over R1 million has also been issued to people caught breaking lockdown regulations
More than 500 litres of alcohol have been seized during police operations across Western Cape this past long weekend.
There were also arrests made for various offences, ranging from murder to burglary.
A total of 1,443 fines of over R1 million has also been issued to people caught going against lockdown regulations.
Novela Potelwa, provincial police spokesperson said in a statement:
“In a concerted effort to create safety among local communities, the Western Cape police effected 712 arrests over the weekend. Other fines were issues for contraventions of the Road Traffic Management Act. The roadblocks and tracing operations are set to continue.”
Since alcohol ban is still in effect during this coronavirus lockdown, breaking such ban would result to repercussions like payment of fine.
So the alcohol ban must be adhered to until it is lifted by the government.
