DURBAN - Police have arrested three men in connection with a shooting that took place in Croton Road in Wentworth yesterday. A teenager was also arrested and charged after officers recovered a firearm and ammunition at his home during a late night raid.
While residents have welcomed the arrests, they believe those in handcuffs are only runners, and police need to work harder and follow up on intelligence to track down the kingpins.
KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson, Captain Nqobile Gwala, said two men were arrested following the murder of a 27-year-old man in Croton Road.
