Unveiling the guardians: CPFs and private security firms redefining crime fighting strategies

In a joint effort by police and private security companies, three suspects were arrested in the Eastern Cape after they allegedly posed as second hand buyers of solar power batteries and robbed a homeowner. In Limpopo, a 26-year-old man was arrested after police and private security companies responded to a tip-off about an armed man planning to poach rhinos. In Rustenburg, local community policing forums (CPFs) joined police in a crime disruption operation in Rustenburg, as part of a wider plan to fight crime in the community.
