“In the second incident, two members from the Tactical Response Team were arrested after police investigated a possible leak of information about the planned operation in the Johannesburg CBD. The two were linked through investigation and on an eye witness account,” Peters said. Peters further said that over 560 undocumented foreign nationals were taken in for processing and that their status in the country will be determined by the Department of Home Affairs while the Local Criminal Record Centre from the SAPS will determine criminal records.

She said large consignments of counterfeit goods including clothing and sneakers were found in different buildings, but their monetary value was yet to be determined.
