Station commander Brigadier Jayce Naidoo confronted the gang bosses on 28 May regarding their continuous lawless behaviour and to can a planned “End of May Month bash” street bash.

Spokesperson Captain Ian Bennett wyses: “Illegal street parties are a breeding ground for death and destruction.

“Our youth are being violated and introduced to substance abuse, while the adult community watches. This behaviour will no longer be tolerated.
