Police disposed of the huge cache of booze by pouring it down the drain at the police station.

The alcohol – worth thousands of rand – was seized from illegal shebeens during separate raids on unlicensed taverns in Reiger Park, Ramaphosa and Delmore informal settlements in the hope of making those communities a safer place.

Reiger Park SAPS spokesperson Sgt Mashudu Phathela said in their policing precinct alcohol is seen as being the largest contributing factor to anti-social behaviour and other crimes including domestic violence and assault.

The crates of empty bottles were taken back to the breweries.
