Durban - Three Durban police officers were arrested after they
were linked to a spate of petrol tanker hijackings and the theft of diesel,
KwaZulu-Natal police said on Thursday.
Their arrests followed an intensive investigation after a petrol
tanker was hijacked in Rossburgh, Durban, in April, Major Thulani Zwane said.
"A security guard, who was guarding the place during the
recovery, drew a firearm and tried to shoot at police. He was arrested and his
unlicensed firearm was seized.”
The arrested police officers had been linked to that hijacking,
theft of diesel, and other truck hijackings committed in February this year.
They would appear in court soon.
