CAPE TOWN - Concerned neighbours in a Bonteheuwel street which is home to an alleged drug den and gang hangout, have dubbed it “21 Jump Street”, and together with the ward councillor, are appealing for authorities to shut it down using legislation.
Police spokesperson, Captain FC van Wyk said police had visited the premises on several occasions to carry out raids after complaints. McKenzie said they have used all avenues to remedy the situation and is calling on the State to enforce the Poca, the Prevention of Organised Crime Act and the Assets Forfeiture Unit to seize the property.
“The South African police services have a piece of legislation called the Poca Act, as well the Assets Forfeiture Unit and what should happen is that any property that is used to derive an income through illegal activities, or activities taking place on the property is of an illegal nature, the State has the right, through AFU and the Poca, to confiscate that property.
