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.
