CAPE TOWN - Determined to bring law and order to crime affected areas, members of Operation Restore were deployed in Mfuleni late last night when they spotted vehicles on an open field near Blue Downs stadium under suspicious circumstances. The members approached the vehicles which turned out to be tow trucks, and conducted a routine search.
