Two Northern Cape police
officers allegedly robbed a Nigerian national of his watch and cellphone while
searching his house for drugs.
“The officers informed the
owner the owner of the Stamper Street house for drugs. After the police
officers left, the complainant realised that his cellphone and wallet were
missing. In the same afternoon, two cash withdrawals were made at an ATM,” said
police spokesperson Brigadier Masebueng Mochologi-Maleeme.
“It is further alleged that
on Monday 30th, the same two officers drove into the complainant while he was
riding his bicycle in Nobengula Steet. The complainant left his bicycle behind
and ran into a nearby shopping centre. The two officers went after him and
handed him his bicycle. The man sustained slight bruises to his legs,” said
Mochologi-Maleeme.
Constables Tshidiso Ambrose
Bodigelo, 34, and Makwadi Christopher Mashalane, 33, appeared in the Galeshewe
Magistrate’s Court in Kimberley, Northern Cape on charges of theft and
attempted murder on Thursday.
The case was postponed to
