Two police officers will line up in the Pongola
Magistrates Court today on charges of business robbery and kidnapping.
The police's Jay Naicker says the men were arrested
on Saturday in connection with an incident in December when guards at a store
in the northern KZN town were kidnapped, tied up and left in the sugar cane
field.
The suspects then allegedly returned to rob the
store.
Naicker says two other men were nabbed for the
crime last year.
"The
provincial commissioner has applauded the police officers for arresting the two
men. As we've previously stated, we will not tolerate criminals within the
police and this arrest has clearly demonstrated that we're equipped to arrest
our own police officers when they do wrong," he said.
