Four Tshwane metro police officers had been
arrested on Sunday morning following their involvement in a business robbery on
Saturday.
Senior Superintendent Isaac Mahamba,
spokesperson for the metro police, said the four officers, one constable and
three sergeants, were stationed at Mamelodi police station.
The officers are all aged between 27 and 37.
“The four of them drove dressed in full
uniform with a marked police vehicle to a business in Soshanguve Block T where
they allegedly robbed a business,” he said.
He said eyewitnesses took down the
registration number of the vehicle and informed the police. The officers
allegedly robbed the business owner of R5 000 and airtime to the value of R2
500.
Police and metro police arrested the four
officers in Mamelodi on Sunday morning.
“We waited for them to clock in on Sunday
before we made the arrest,” Mahamba said.
He said the investigation is still on-going
and the four officers will appear in court soon.
