Four of the most wanted gang members from Amaoti in Inanda are behind bars for their alleged involvement in more than 20 murders.
KwaZulu-Natal police made the breakthrough and arrested them in Cato Manor on Saturday during a multidisciplinary operation.
Spokesperson Robert Netshiunda says the suspects, aged between 21 and 33, have allegedly been terrorising the Amaoti community in the north of Durban since June.
"Police followed positive intelligence about the suspects who were in hiding at a house in Cato Manor. Upon arrival, police found the four suspects in possession of two firearms, ammunition and suspected stolen property such as laptops and cellphones.
