EAST LONDON – It’s Operation Clampdown on unscrupulous scrapyard dealers.
That’s the message from the Buffalo City Metro, which has been raiding businesses suspected of buying property stolen from the municipality and parastatals.
Police say they have uncovered many suspicious dealings this week.
Several businesses were handed fines for operating illegally, while some were shut down.
