Ehlers says Operation Shanela will continue with disruptive actions during this week to ensure that priority crimes are addressed, and perpetrators removed from the streets. She says these actions included the searching of premises, stop and search actions, high visibility patrols, compliance inspections, roadblocks and vehicle check points.
