Bitou Law Enforcement lauded for food blitz

Food items expired over four years ago, others with no expiry dates were some of the discoveries made by Bitou Public Safety Officials as they pounced on shops in the CBD on Tuesday.

This blitz follows similar operations on Friday and at the weekend in Witterdrift, Kranshoek and Crags. These operations saw an illegal tavern owner arrested and alcohol worth thousands of rands confiscated as they were trading without a legal permit.
