In the early hours of Monday morning, members responded to a motor vehicle accident in Walkerville where the driver of a black Mini Cooper lost control of the vehicle and collided with a tree.
Upon arrival, responding members were met with hostility and verbal abuse from the driver, who was allegedly under the influence. Due to the circumstances, Traffic and SAPS were requested to attend; however, no units were available at the time.
During the incident, one of the responders was assaulted by the driver, who then fled the scene of the accident.
An assault case was subsequently registered at De Deur SAPS. Through follow-up investigations and information received, the suspect was traced to a B&B in Walkerville where he had allegedly been partying throughout the weekend.
When approached by members, the suspect attempted to mislead officers by providing a false identity. He was successfully detained and transported to De Deur SAPS for further investigation.
๐ Well done to all members involved for their professionalism, persistence, and teamwork in ensuring the suspect was located and brought in for questioning.
