SUSPECT ARRESTED WITH DYE-STAINED BANKNOTES LINKED TO ATM BOMBINGS: A 52-year-old Lesotho national has been arrested in Seraleng, near Boitekong, after police found him in possession of dye-stained banknotes believed to be linked to ATM bombings in the Bojanala Platinum District. The arrest followed an intelligence-driven investigation into the deposit of dye-stained cash into various bank accounts. Police, working with bank investigators, traced the deposits and conducted a raid at the suspect’s home, where the stained money was recovered. Clothing seized during the search will undergo forensic testing as investigators explore links to ATM bombings. Police say more arrests are expected. The suspect is due to appear in the Rustenburg Magistrates’ Court on Monday, 20 July 2026, on a charge of possessing suspected dye-stained banknotes.

#sapsEC [COORDINATED POLICE OPERATIONS NET SIX SUSPECTS LINKED TO HOUSE ROBBERIES] A series of coordinated operations by the Motherwell Cluster Trio Task Team has resulted in the arrest of six suspects believed to be linked to several house robberies committed across Nelson Mandela Bay, with one suspect having been evading arrest for several months. Acting on information received regarding suspects allegedly involved in house robberies who were hiding in the Winnie Mandela informal settlement in Khayamnandi, Despatch, members conducted an intelligence-led operation on Friday, 17/07. During the operation, two suspects were arrested at separate locations. One suspect was apprehended in Gqalo Street, Khayamnandi, while a second suspect was arrested in Avenue B, New Brighton. Further investigation and interviews with the suspects revealed that three additional suspects linked to the same group had already been arrested and were being detained at Kwadwesi SAPS. Members verified this information, bringing the total number of suspects arrested to five. The suspects are believed to be involved in several house robberies committed in Wells Estate, Motherwell, KwaZakhele, KwaDwesi and New Brighton. At this stage, they have been positively linked to at least two house robbery cases registered at KwaDwesi SAPS. During the arrest of the suspect in New Brighton, police recovered a black Ottimo air fryer, which was positively identified as property stolen during a house robbery in the KwaDwesi policing precinct. Police continued with follow-up investigations to trace the remaining suspects. This morning (18 July 2026), members arrested a sixth suspect, a minor, who had allegedly been evading arrest for several months. The arrest also led to the recovery of a silver blank firearm, which has been seized for further investigation. All six suspects are expected to appear in the relevant magistrates’ courts on charges of house robbery, while additional charges may be added as investigations continue. #fightingcrime #GunsOffTheStreets #TrioCrimes SG facebook.com/share/p/1Ehrvv…

PAROLEE ARRESTED AFTER STOLEN VEHICLE RECOVERED IN THABA NCHU, MANHUNT UNDERWAY FOR ACCOMPLICES: The multidisciplinary #OperationShanela2 led to the swift recovery of a vehicle stolen during a violent business robbery in Botshabelo and the arrest of a 46-year-old suspect who is currently out on parole. The arrest follows an incident on Friday, 10 July 2026, at approximately 20:00. A group of four heavily armed men stormed a local shop in Section U, Botshabelo, holding two shopkeepers at gunpoint. The suspects assaulted the victims while demanding cash and cellular phones. Before fleeing the scene, the assailants robbed one of the victims of his car keys and sped off in his blue Volkswagen Touran. Boithuso police responded to the scene, and cases of business robbery and theft of a motor vehicle were officially opened for investigation. On Friday, 17 July 2026, the breakthrough came when members of the Mangaung Metro DOCC Crime Combating Unit received crucial information regarding the whereabouts of the stolen vehicle in Thaba Nchu. The team operationalised the information, which led them to a residential property in the Ramakgari location, Thaba Nchu. Upon searching the premises, police discovered the blue Volkswagen Touran hidden inside a garage. The vehicle had sustained damage. The 46-year-old owner of the property was found inside the house and immediately placed under arrest. Preliminary investigations have revealed that the arrested suspect was previously sentenced to six years’ imprisonment in 2023 and was actively out on parole at the time of his arrest. He now faces charges of possession of a suspected stolen motor vehicle, alongside the initial charges of business robbery and theft of a motor vehicle. Botshabelo Police have launched a massive manhunt for the remaining suspects involved in the initial robbery. Members of the public who may have any information that could lead to the arrest of the outstanding suspects are requested to urgently contact Detective Lieutenant Colonel Finger on 082 339 9221, SAPS #CrimeStop on 08600 10111 or send an anonymous tip-off via the #MySAPSApp.

FATAL SHOOTINGS IN LWANDLE AND APPEALS FOR PUBLIC ASSISTANCE The Acting Provincial Commissioner of the Western Cape, Major General Luyanda Damoyi, has strongly condemned the senseless acts of violence that claimed the lives of four people in separate shooting incidents in Asanda Village, Lwandle, during the early hours of Saturday, 18 July 2026. Lwandle police have opened three counts of murder and an additional murder case following the fatal shootings that occurred in Nombula Street and Ntanga Street, which are situated less than a kilometre apart. According to reports, three victims, aged between 29 and 33, including a woman, were fatally wounded in Nombula Street. In a separate incident, a 36-year-old man was shot and killed in Ntanga Street. Preliminary information indicates that between three and four armed suspects allegedly opened fire on the victims following brief arguments before fleeing the scenes. Major General Damoyi described the incidents as a blatant disregard for human life and reiterated the commitment of the South African Police Service(SAPS) to bringing those responsible to justice. “The loss of life under these circumstances is deeply concerning. We will utilise all available resources to ensure that those responsible are identified, apprehended and brought before court,” said Major General Damoyi. Detectives are pursuing all available leads as part of the ongoing investigations into the murders. Anyone with information that could assist the investigation is requested to contact the CrimeStop number on 08600 10111 or make use of the MySAPSApp. All information will be treated with the strictest confidence.

The “Loftus Five” are five human rights activists who were arrested at Loftus Versfeld Stadium during a 2025 Bafana Bafana match for peacefully supporting the “Red Card Israel” campaign while wearing Palestinian regalia. They initially faced charges of public violence, assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm (GBH), and malicious damage to property. All charges were officially withdrawn this week.

Witness M is testifying behind closed doors at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry after Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga approved an application for an in-camera hearing due to serious safety concerns. The witness will give evidence about being present during the 751kg cocaine bust in Aeroton, Johannesburg, and the tracking of the drug shipment. The testimony is expected to include allegations involving politically exposed individuals, heads of state, organised crime syndicates, crime families and terrorist groups. In an affidavit, Witness M said they had been placed under surveillance, followed by suspicious vehicles, and received anonymous intimidating phone calls. Owing to the highly sensitive nature of the evidence and the security risks, the Commission ruled that the proceedings would be held in camera until the witness has completed testimony. @pule_jones

On Monday, the Madlanga Commission will listen to evidence from Witness M- in camera. @pule_jones
