Police in the Limpopo province have arrested more than five thousand suspects in July.
Spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo says this follows a month-long 'crusade' by members of SAPS together with other law enforcement officials in the province.
He says the 5 499 arrests were made from the 1st to the 31st of July.
The operations were conducted in all five Districts of the Province through roadblocks, tracing of wanted suspects, COVID-19 compliance monitoring, visits at shopping malls as well as stop and searches.
Brigadier Mojapelo says more than R14 million worth of items were seized.
This includes trucks, firearms, illicit cigarettes and even a live pangolin.
