Police have two persons in custody in connection with their investigation into the grenade attack on Kraal Road. There were rumours that one man would be charged today but that didn’t pan out. Commissioner Crispin Jeffries told us this evening that they will most likely seek the advice of the DPP’s Office before bringing charges. But will those charges be brought before the New Year’s holiday on Friday? At 6:00 this evening, Jeffries told us that he expects that someone will be charged before the New Year holiday on Friday.

Jeffries also acknowledged that one of the triggers for what he yesterday characterized as warfare between George Street and Kraal Road may be connected to the disappearance of a man named Glen Smith in Hattieville. 7News has confirmed that Smith disappeared almost ten days ago. He is known to be a relative of principal members of the George Street gang – and, again, police are examining the connection between this disappearance and the violence being directed at Kraal Road.
