Residents will be relieved to know that one baddie has been taken off the streets, an alleged hitman taken down by the SAPS.

Here’s eNCA with all the details:

Preliminary investigation shows a firearm confiscated when an alleged gang hitman was arrested in Cape Town this week can be linked to several gang-related murders in the city, the directorate for priority crime investigation (Hawks) in the Western Cape said on Sunday..

“The Hawks have taken-over investigations of an alleged 25-year-old hitman,” spokesman Captain Lloyd Ramovha said.
