Criminals use pitbulls to delay law enforcement

ETHEKWENI – Reaction Officer Kieran Ramjogi needed to pacify a Pitbull while Law Enforcement Officers (LEO) gained entry onto a property of a known criminal via the roof.

Reaction Unit South Africa & the South African Police Services were facing difficulty in apprehending criminal elements that have surrounded their homes with Pitbulls, barbed wire, electrical fences & other vicious dogs in an attempt to obstruct & delay.

In a Joint Operation on Friday, a criminal sought by Law enforcement barricaded himself inside his home in Ottawa while Reaction Officers & Police Officers used bolt cutters to gain access to the premises. Criminals use these delay tactics to destroy drugs, conceal weapons & plan an escape.
