JOHANNESBURG - Police are
investigating a case of gang rape after a woman was attacked at gunpoint in
Fairlands by men dressed in metro police uniforms.
The woman was pulled over while
travelling on 14th Avenue last week.
She was asked to provide her
driver’s license and was searched before being gang raped.
The police's Moloko Kgatla says the
men, dressed in Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD) uniforms, pointed a firearm
at the woman and forced her into nearby bushes.
“She was raped by two guys in metro
police uniform. The other one was raping her while the other one was pointing
the lady with the firearm.”
It’s not yet clear whether the men
had been posing as officers or really are metro cops.
No arrests have yet been made.
The JMPD has also launched an
investigation.
