Cape Town's enforcement services recorded a sharp rise in arrests over the past week, with officers detaining more than 400 suspects as road safety concerns, alcohol-related offences and emergency calls all trended upward.
The latest figures, released by the City , show a noticeable surge in law enforcement activity as January nears its end this week, a period often linked to increased pressure on public safety resources.
Drunk driving and road accidents featured prominently, alongside firearm-related arrests and a heavy weekend workload for emergency call centres.
