Police station set alight
January 17 2012 at 08:39pm
North West police were investigating a
case of arson after the Bethanie satellite police station was set alight.
Damage caused by the fire, which
started in the early hours of Sunday morning, was estimated at R20,000,
spokeswoman Captain Tselane Nkala said on Tuesday.
“Two police officials, who were on
duty, went to patrol and when they came back they found the satellite station
burning. The front windows were broken, the door was on fire and the front
ceiling was also on fire.”
Police suspected local residents who
were involved in a march last week, during which tyres were burnt and stones
thrown, could have started the blaze, as a tyre was found on the premises.
No arrests had been made. - Sapa
