Two Mount Frere police officers appeared in court yesterday on charges of theft and unlawful possession of ammunition. MEC for Human Settlements, Safety and Liaison, Helen Sauls-August yesterday welcomed the arrest of the two officers.
They were found near a police van loaded with 10 bags of dagga following an investigation by the station commander regarding theft of dagga at the Mount Frere Police Station. They were arrested and one of the two police officers was also found to be in possession of ammunition.
The MEC has commended the swift intervention by SAPS to root out corruption within its ranks. They have been remanded into custody until Thursday for a formal bail application.
