Press Statement – Recent Shootings

CPF, Crime, Press Release, Shooting

The Durban North area has experienced two violent murders in the past month, but we would like to note that both murders have the markings of premeditated, targeted attacks and were not as result of crimes gone wrong/escalating such as robbery or hijacking. With that in mind, targeted murders are almost impossible to predict or prevent, and as such proactively police without prior knowledge or forewarning.

Without diminishing from the severity of these two crimes, we would like to allay fears and concerns of residents of an increase in violent crime, as this is simply not the case. Crime stats for the last quarter indicate an overall decrease in contact crime (crimes against the person), and other crimes such as household and business robbery and common robbery, with our only growing concern being fraud, with Durban North averaging about 20 cases a week. We will be putting out regular communiques in order to educate our residents and try combat fraud.

Murder Suspects Arrested During Routine Roadblock

CPF, Crime, Metro, Operations, Press Release, SAPS

On Friday 14th June 2024, during a routine stop and search roadblock, Durban North CPF members assisted Durban Metro Police with stopping a suspicious vehicle.

Whilst the vehicle was being checked, the one suspect fled the scene, with some of our CPF members giving chase. The suspect fled into a nearby office park, by which time Durban Metro Police and SAPS members had joined our members in the chase. The suspect, who was found hiding in the office block, was apprehended a short while later by Durban Metro Police and was escorted back to his vehicle.

Durban North CPF, Metro and SAPS members conducted a thorough search of the vehicle and found a human body which had been covered with cardboard and bags containing clothing and blankets. Medics were called to the scene and confirmed the person was deceased.

The driver and the passenger were detained and are currently being held at the Durban North SAPS station for further investigation.

We would like to commend our members, as well as the law enforcement officers for their swift response and decisive actions resulting in the apprehension of the suspects.

The roadblock yielded other successes, notably:

– 16 arrests (14 males, 2 females)

– Highest alcohol reading: 0.71mg/1

– Lowest alcohol reading: 0.28mg/1

– 2 PRDP drivers
