police uniform attack the Monia family in Meyer Street, Middelburg South Africa
25 July 2013
A group of eight black men in Police uniforms and driving in MARKED SAPS vehicles attacked the home of Mr Muhammed Suliman Monia on Meyer STreet early Thursday morning July 25 2013. According to owner of the house, Mr Muhammed Suliman Monia, the men arrived outside his home in two white Golf GTi vehicles - one of them plastered with SAPS markings. They drove into the yard as soon as the electronic controlled gate was opened to allow a member of the household into the property.
“They banged on the door and said it was the Police. Just as the door was opened they barged their way into the house, claiming that they were searching for drugs and received a tip-off that we’re money laundering. It was outrageous,” said Mr Monia.They were tied up with cable ties as the suspects ransacked the household, searching for any items of value. They stole mostly electronic items, including laptops.The CCTV systems was entirely disconnected, and the recording was also stolen.“The men were professionals. They carried themselves very expertly and knew what they were looking for. It wouldn’t surprise me if they were really Policemen. They were fearless,” said Mr Monia.At the time of going to print, Middelburg SAPS detectives were on the scene taking statements and looking for clues. http://www.looklocal.co.za/looklocal/content/en/middelburg/middelburg-mobile-news?oid=7648587&sn=Mobile-Detail&pid=4979984&Armed--policemen--rob-household
