Following a spate of seven murders in and around Grassy Park over the last month, the Community Safety Committee in the legislature has pinpointed the issue of police shortages in the area.
He said during their visit they met with the metro police and welcomed their engagement with the Anti-Gang Unit for an operational plan in the area.
Grassy Park Community Policing Forum chairperson Melvin Jonkers said if the DA visited the station and discovered there was a shortage of resources, they must now ensure the resources are obtained. Police spokesperson Andrè Traut said the response from provincial police commissioner Thembisile Patekile to a question in Parliament that the staff complement at Grassy Park police station was 160 was accurate at the time.
