The Roodepoort area has been rocked by a spate of hijackings and house robberies.
Gauteng police descended on the area as part of Operation Okae Molao.
Provincial Police Commissioner Elias Mawela said the operation started off well.
“Our detectives brought in 727 wanted suspects for us and we also have a second phase which is intelligence-led where they managed to arrest three people who were arrested en route to commit a business robbery,” Mawela said.
“Firearms were recovered. Another three people were arrested for drugs.”
He said 87 people were arrested at a roadblock.
“Eight people were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and we managed to close three illegal shebeens and alcohol was also confiscated and the dealers arrested,” he said.
