A successful collaborative effort between the Northern Cape and North West police has resulted in the arrest of three suspects in connection with a murder that occurred in Kuruman on 1 June 2025.
It is alleged that a 38-year-old male was fatally shot at Seoding Block A.
Following an intensive investigation, members of the Northern Cape Crime Intelligence, in conjunction with Crime Intelligence in the North West Province, the Mahikeng Tactical Response Team, and the Vryburg Public Order Police, launched a coordinated, intelligence-driven operation in Ganyesa in the North West province.
The operation took place between the evening of Monday, 23 June 2025, and the early hours of Tuesday, 24 June 2025.
Three male suspects, aged 28, 32, and 33 respectively, were arrested.
The team also recovered illegal firearms and ammunition in their possession.
The suspects are expected to appear in court soon and the investigation remains ongoing.
The Northern Cape Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Koliswa Otola, praised the outstanding cooperation between the two provinces and cited the critical role of inter-provincial collaboration in ensuring that justice is served and that individuals responsible for serious and violent crimes are held accountable.
