POLOKWANE -  The Hawks in Limpopo on Sunday  arrested a 31-year-old police constable   on charges of defeating the ends of justice.
This follows a Hawks investigation into a cash-in-transit robbery at the Mokone Shell garage on May 8, during which four suspects got away with three boxes of cash being guarded by Coin Security guards. 
The suspects took off in a BMW which was later found abandoned 2km from the incident. The suspects are still on the run. Investigations led the Hawks to Gauteng after one of the perpetrators  was identified and it was alleged that a Gauteng  constable aided the perpetrators to escape.
The constable was arrested in Tembisa and was disarmed.  He  appeared in the Polokwane magistrate’s  court on Monday.  Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi could not confirm the  outcome  at the time of going to press. Police investigations  continue.
