Two cops in dock for stolen
police goods
Johannesburg - Two police officers are expected to appear in the
Klerksdorp Magistrate's Court on Thursday for allegedly selling suspected
stolen goods, North West police said.
The two officers who work at the Klerksdorp auxiliary garage - which
services the SA Police Service's vehicles - allegedly sold rims and tyres from
the garage to a member of the public for R1 200, Brigadier ThulaniNgubane said.
The man had been arrested earlier in the week for being in possession of
stolen items.
“The police arrested a suspect on information received from informers
regarding stolen vehicle rims and tyres.
“After an investigation was conducted the suspect informed the police
that he bought the goods from the two employees of the (SAPS) working at the
Klerksdorp auxiliary garage,” Ngubane said.
The two officers allegedly took three tyres, each with a rim, to a house
in Ellaton. They were arrested on Tuesday.
