    South African Police Service (SAPS) spokesperson Frederick van Wyk said a joint operation was held between Western Cape Provincial Detectives, Pretoria National Intervention Unit, Eastern Cape and Head Office Crime Intelligence to apprehend a high profile taxi boss linked to various serious crimes in and around Cape Town.

    The crimes range between extortion, fraud, intimidation, murder, attempted murder and possession of an unlicensed firearm. Information received indicated that the target was moving between the Eastern Cape, East and Pretoria.

    Van Wyk said a detailed investigation and following up on intelligence, led the SAPS members to a premises in Metro Park Parow Mound, East Silver Lakes, Pretoria where he was hiding to evade arrest.

    “The adult man was identified as the prime suspect and arrested on the various warrants of arrests for a Nyanga murder and double attempted murder case which was issued against the perpetrator. Further warrants issued were for a Mfuleni case of possession of an unlicensed firearm and an Ocean View matter, impersonating a police official.

    “SAPS members worked around the clock to follow up information received and to secure the arrest which also led to the successful confiscation of one 9mm Glock pistol with 15 rounds, laptops, cellular telephones a white Ford Ranger and vehicle documents,” he added.
