Police arrested 44 people in KwaZulu-Natal at the weekend for attending a party.

“On Saturday night, Winterton SAPS, SANDF, public order police and Okhahlamba Traffic Department conducted an intelligence-driven multidisciplinary operation in the Winterton central business district after information of a party that was taking place,” said SAPS KZN spokesperson Brig Jay Naicker.

The arrested partygoers were fined R500 each.
