Police in the Frances Baard District in the Northern Cape shut down illegal liquor outlets during operations this weekend (15/3). They also confiscated illegal gambling machines.

The Sports Against Crime operation took place on Friday and Saturday, after police received reports about illegal activities in and around Lerato Park and Roodepan. At one location, officers confiscated liquor that was allegedly being sold without a liquor license, valued at R150 000. They also confiscated two items resembling firearms.

At a second address, police confiscated three coin gambling machines and liquor worth R15 00 that was also allegedly being sold without a liquor license.

Two suspects were arrested and charged and will soon appear in the Kimberley magistrate’s court.
