PE Flying Squad has one working vehicle

THE Port Elizabeth Flying Squad has all but collapsed, with just one operational vehicle left for the entire Nelson Mandela Bay and surrounding areas.

This follows months of pleading by squad members for police bosses to increase their vehicle fleet – but the appeals have fallen on deaf ears.

The vehicle – a sponsored high-performance Chevrolet Lumina – has been the only operational vehicle servicing the Bay and other nearby towns, including Jeffreys Bay and the Addo area, for the past two weeks. There are 16 vehicles – between the Flying Squad and K9 Unit – awaiting repairs and booked into the state garage. - Gareth Wilson
