CAPE TOWN - Over 500 additional police officers will be deployed to the Western Cape this festive season.
More than a hundred of them will be placed in gang and severe crime ridden stations.
Authorities also destroyed confiscated alcohol.
Western Cape police commissioner Thembisile Patekile said the alcohol is mostly from unlicensed shebeens.
"If we deal with the liquor we're taking a step in the right direction," he said.
