LEAP forging ahead with crime-fighting efforts
28 September 2022
Between 12 - 18 September 2022, Law Enforcement Advancement Plan (LEAP) officers confiscated 6 illegal firearms and arrested of 123 individuals for a variety of crimes. This means in the space of two weeks, since 5 – 18 September 2022, 13 illegal firearms have been removed off our streets and 302 individuals have been arrested.
LEAP is an initiative of the Western Cape Government (WCG) and is run in partnership with the City of Cape Town.
The confiscation of firearms occurred in Gugulethu, Bishop Lavis, Delft and Nyanga.
Minister Reagen Allen said: “The LEAP officers along with their partners should be commended for their continued effort to create safer communities. Their constant visibility shows the importance of having extra boots on the ground, as this helps ensure that communities feel safer.”
