Police, military ‘slug it out’ at Kakasunanka

A scuffle ensued between some Military Officers from Michel Camp and some Police Personnel on Friday, March 26 2021, over some men allegedly picked by the police at Kakasunanka number one.

The arrest followed a swoop to fish out people involved in the use of narcotics.

According to an eye witness, the misunderstanding ensued after the Police swoop, which the military officers claimed has led to the arrest of an innocent person.  

The witness narrated that the military officers were displeased that the police officers rather invaded a house while looking out for suspected people smoking weed in some ghettos in the area. 

The police, however, managed to manoeuvre their way out of the standoff, which necessitated a hot chase by the military to prevent them from taking their officer with other suspects away.

The situation caused some heavy traffic as no car could navigate  through the streets.
