Cape Town - Police Minister General Bheki Cele has condemned the opportunistic criminal behaviour by those behind at least 16 reported incidents of burglary and looting of liquor outlets in the Western Cape since the Covid-19 nationwide lockdown.
Two warrant officers from the Delft FCS Unit were arrested together with a liquor store manager and a cashier in Strand, after police on Thursday responded to a tip-off and pounced on the suspects inside the store, buying liquor that was allegedly going to be resold illegally elsewhere. "In line with the SAPS Anti-Corruption Strategy, the National Commissioner, General Kehla Sitole has sanctioned urgent departmental investigations into the two incidents through which, if found guilty, the members could face dismissal from the service," acting police Brigadier Mathapelo Peters said on Sunday.
