MBABANE– Royal Eswatini Police Services (REPS) seem to be on the roll with their service delivery these days.
Fresh from recovering over 14 stolen cars the REPS have also made a major breakthrough in two major cases. This was announced on their social media platforms.
The news was met with positive affirmations from the public who congratulated the police service for doing their job and further encouraged them to keep up the good work.
The police service made breakthroughs in the following cases, in Manzini where three suspects were arrested in connection with armed robberies that were committed at Ngwane Park. They include a 20-year-old man of Nhlambeni and two women aged 20 and 25 both of Sidzakeni.
