## Resource

Gauteng police hit hard this weekend with Operation Shanela Two, arresting 1,154 suspects in a massive province-wide crackdown. Drivers got busted for DUI, immigrants arrested for overstaying visas, and 786 charged with serious crimes — including 162 targeting women and children. Ten liquor stores were shut down for violations, fines rained down on traffic offenders, and even a security guard was nabbed for illegal firearm possession. This isn’t a one-off — cops say these raids will keep coming to crush crime and keep communities safe. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
