3 September 2013 10:51
A Cape Town police officer
could be stripped of his badge for allegedly snatching a bottle of whiskey from
an undercover police agent.
Henrico Adendorff is also
alleged to have demanded and taken a R150 bribe from the agent, The Times
reported today.
He allegedly took the open
bottle of Jack Daniel’s from the agent’s car.
Next week Adendorff is due
to take the stand in the Bellville Specialised Commercial Crimes Court, where
he will be asked to explain his behaviour.
He has appeared in court
several times since January on a charge of corruption, and was arrested in
2011.
According to the
prosecution, “The accused, who was a member of the SA Police Service and on
duty at the time of the incident, was arrested during a successful … operation
by the police.”
