FREE STATE -The Bloemfontein Tactical Response Team (TRT) working together with the Provincial Organised Crime unit arrested a notorious gang member in Mangaung Bloemfontein.
On Thursday, 08 October 2020 at about 05:00, members followed a crime intelligence led information on the whereabouts of a wanted BTK gang member known as “Sarita” for two counts of murder.
The suspect was found hiding at his mother’s house in Rocklands, Bloemfontein and arrested.
