Police say six suspects were arrested for possession of suspected stolen property related to the looting, while 14 suspects were arrested for contravention of the curfew.
Police in Ekurhuleni, Gauteng, have arrested 20 suspects after service delivery protests erupted “into lawlessness”.
Peters said the protests broke out on Wednesday and that the police have since been “on high alert” and closely monitoring these areas. “Criminal elements took advantage of the protests and attacked and looted three shops in Eden Park. A warehouse was also torched,” Peters said. “The situation is currently calm but tense, while police will remain in the area to ensure that no further incidents of violence and criminality erupt.
