Gauteng police stations continue to be hamstrung by transport challenges with 1,169 vehicles out of service in the province.

On Monday the DA said this was the picture painted in a written parliamentary reply by police minister Bheki Cele.

The number was lower than the figure provided by Cele in April 2021 when the number of out of service police vehicles was 2,170.DA shadow MEC for community safety Michael Shackleton said: “It is unacceptable as it has resulted in police not being able to attend emergency crime scenes and has negatively impacted the work of officers.” .

Lenasia was second, with 10 out of service vehicles and only nine operational vehicles. De Deur had 10 out of service vehicles and 11 operational vehicles while Krugersdorp had 12 out of service vehicles and 22 operational vehicles.
