Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) officers have uncovered an alleged illicit operation involving counterfeit food packaging and suspected stolen municipal infrastructure during a high-impact operation in the Johannesburg CBD.
According to JMPD, officers conducting an inner-city sweep approached informal traders selling goods from trolleys on Wednesday when the vendors fled into a building at the corner of Edith Cavell and Plein streets.
Expired food allegedly being relabelled for resale and suspected stolen municipal infrastructure were seized during a JMPD operation in the Johannesburg CBD, where vendors fled into a building before officers moved in.
