Vehicle Licence offials arrests
Four suspects are set to appear in court tomorrow on allegations of illegally licensing un-roadworthy vehicles.
The suspects, three vehicle examiners and a data capturer, were nabbed in a festive anti-corruption drive by members of the Road Traffic Management Corporation’s National Traffic Anti-Corruption Unit and the Hawks.
The anti-corruption police raided the premises of a private company that conducts roadworthiness tests in Daveyton.
It is suspected that at least 46 vehicles were certified without being physically examined by the officers employed by Daveyton Vehicle Testing Station recently.
The owners of the vehicles will be traced and they could face charges of fraud.
Computers and documents were seized during the raid. These will be analysed as part of the investigation.
The suspects are expected to appear at the Pretoria Special Commercial Crimes Court for a bail application.
The RTMC has prioritized corruption in efforts to made roads safer this festive season.
