This information is not readily available on any South African Police Service (SAPS) System, in order to address the request, an extensive effort, from both administrative and operational personnel will need to be utilised over a long period of time. Case files will need to be recovered from archives and manually persued to identify any case that relate to this request. This will impede on current investigations and hamper service delivery.
