Recent efforts to address the root causes of crime in the Western Cape have arrested several suspects for illegal firearm possession. The arrests were made following a shooting in Manenberg, where a 13yearold boy was injured. As a result, antigang unit members increased their efforts and apprehended a 34yearold woman attempting to dispose of a CZ pistol with a fully loaded magazine containing 15 rounds. The illegal firearm and ammunition led to the possibility that it was linked to the shooting of the 13yearold, and the matter is currently under investigation.
Neptune Lane, a quiet residential street in the Ocean View neighborhood of Cape Town, was the site of a gruesome shooting incident in the early hours of the morning on Wednesday. Six lives were lost in what is believed to be a gangrelated attack, sending shockwaves throughout the community.
