DRIVER NABBED FOR SEVERAL OFFENCES IN PUTFONTEIN

The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) arrested a 34-year-old man for multiple offenses during an operation in Putfontein on 17 February 2024.

While officers from Bronberg Precinct were attending to an accident, they spotted a silver Toyota Etios driving in the wrong lane. On seeing the officers, the 34-year-old driver sped off. But the long arm of the law caught up with him at the corner of Durandt and Malherbe roads after he had collided with another car.

The driver could not produce his driver’s license. While still being questioned by the officers he attempted to bolt away, but his attempt was foiled by the quick officers.

The man was booked at Putfontein Police Station and faces charges of reckless driving, resisting arrest, and drunk driving.
