Police dockets and a Magistrate's stamp was found during a search of a residence in Pelican Heights.
A Magistrate’s stamp and nine police dockets, including two imitation firearms and 73 rounds of ammunition, were found at a residence in Pelican Heights in Grassy Park during a raid carried out at the premises.
The findings reinforces Western Cape High Court Judge Daniel Thulare's concerns raised during an October 2022 bail application, in which he said there were gang infiltrations in lower and senior police officers that were penetrated by the 28s gang.
The search took place at Nightjar Street, Pelican Heights, on May 26, following a tip-off received. Members linked to the police’s Operation Lockdown III visited the premises just after 9 pm and found the Magistrate’s stamp, police dockets, and the ammunition.
Police spokesperson Captain Frederick Van Wyk explained that a 37-year-old suspect was arrested and made an appearance at the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court last week.
