Ten police officers based in Chatsworth, were arrested on Thursday morning by the province's anti-corruption unit for their alleged involvement in two separate incidents of theft and corruption.
Lieutenant general Khombinkosi Jula said the arrests proved SAPS was working to rid corruption within its own ranks.
He said that when the complainant went to the police station to ask about his case, he realised that the seized items had not been handed in. The three officers were arrested by detectives for corruption and theft, and would be appearing in the Chatsworth magistrate's court on Friday. "Following a search of the premises, the police officers charged him for selling cigarettes and for bribing them with R20 000 in cash," said Naicker. "When the man returned to his shop, he realised that the [police officers] had removed two boxes containing R250 000 in cash as well as cigarettes."
