The Success Of Operation Okae Molao Continues!
With the launch of Operation Okae Molao criminals now have NOWHERE TO HIDE.
Okae Molao deals with all aspects of law enforcement, one of which included the raid on a chop shop in Olievenhoutbosch where #DataDotSA were called in to assist with the identification of vehicles and vehicle parts.
During the operation the Minister of Police – Mr Bheki Cele and other high-ranking Senior Police Officers were on-site to observe law enforcement in action. The Deputy National Commissioner, Lieutenant General Tsumane expressed how impressed he is with the past successes obtained during Police Operations with DataDot Microdots and how they give Police the extra edge in the fight against vehicle crime in South Africa.
- The operation resulted in:
- Nine vehicles being seized where identifiers had been tampered with
- Three vehicles confiscated for which Case Numbers exist
- One suspect arrested for possession of suspected stolen property
- A business owner issued with a J534 for non-compliance with the Second-Hand Goods Act
