While conducting a crime prevention patrol along John Page & Main Street in Jeppestown, #JMPD TRU officers came across a group of males & a female involved in a heated argument.
The female alleged that she had been assaulted by a male standing not far from them. As the officers attempted to calm the situation, the woman allegedly called on the crowd to attack the man. The group then turned violent, allegedly attacking him with knobkerries, bricks & steel rods.
Officers swiftly intervened, arresting three males & the female complainant for assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm (GBH). The four suspects were detained at Jeppe SAPS. Other suspects fled the scene with dangerous weapons.
JMPD remains committed to preventing violence & keeping our communities safe.

Trading illegally will not be tolerated!!!
Bear in mind that your goods will be impounded!!!
#JMPD officers are impounding perishable goods from illegal informal traders.
Pushing trolleys on the road is illegal & dangerous as it obstructs the flow of traffic, endangers pedestrians & puts the person pushing the trolley at risk of being struck by a vehicle. It can also cause accidents when drivers are forced to swerve or brake suddenly.
