#sapsEC [JOINT SAPS AND SANDF OPERATION PROSPER SCORES MAJOR VICTORIES AGAINST ILLICIT ACTIVITIES]
The #SAPS, in close collaboration with the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), has recorded significant successes during the latest phase of #OperationProsper, spanning 4 to 10 June 2026. Joint operations targeted drug trafficking, illegal firearm possession, and other criminal activities across the Nelson Mandela Bay district.
During this operational period, law enforcement executed 14 search warrants, conducted 28 Section 22 searches, and carried out 17 vehicle searches. A total of five arrests were effected on charges including possession of drugs, driving under the influence of alcohol, reckless and negligent driving, contravention of the Medicine Act, and illegal possession of ammunition.
Notable successes include the execution of a search warrant in Helenvale, where members recovered a Norinco pistol, ammunition, drugs, and scales. However, the community became rebellious, forcing officers to withdraw. An enquiry docket was subsequently opened. In a separate incident at the same address, a container with 575 Stilpane tablets was also found abandoned.
In Walmer Location, a female adult was arrested for common assault after pushing and slapping a female officer who had instructed her to go home during tavern compliance patrols. The suspect is expected to appear in court soon.
On 10 June 2026, a positive stop-and-search in Arcadia led to the recovery of a replica firearm, while a search warrant in Schauderville yielded Mandrax tablets and an undisclosed amount of cash.
βThese arrests and confiscations demonstrate the unwavering commitment of SAPS and SANDF to restore safety and stability in our communities,β said Lieutenant General Vuyisile Ncata, Provincial Commissioner of Eastern Cape. βWe will continue to apply maximum pressure on criminal networks through coordinated, intelligence-driven operations. The public is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to their nearest police station.β #FightingCrime #DrugsOffTheStreets ST
