Four police officers have been arrested on charges of corruption in Cape Town.
Police spokesperson FC van Wyk says a 27-year-old constable stationed at the Belhar Police Station was arrested after he took a bribe from a suspect who was under arrest for the possession of an unlicensed firearm.
Van Wyk says two constables and a sergeant, stationed at the Lwandle Police Station, were arrested on Thursday after asking a suspect to pay them in order to evade arrest.
“The Anti-Corruption Unit arrested a police sergeant and two constables between the ages of 23 and 35 stationed at Lwandle Police Station on charges of corruption and defeating the administration of justice yesterday afternoon. It is alleged the police members searched a premises where dagga was found and asked the suspect to pay an amount of money in order not be arrested.
