WESTERN CAPE - PAROW POLICE OFFICER ARRESTED DEALING & POSSESSION OF
DRUGS
Parow Police have again been stained by the arrest
of an officer on charges of corruption, dealing in drugs, possession of drugs
and possession of stolen property.
The 34-year-old officer was arrested at his house
last week Wednesday and already appeared in court.
He was released on R5000 bail and pending
investigation the case will continue on 30 September.
His arrest follows various similar incidents in the
province after Western Cape Police conducted crime intelligence driven
operations last week.
These operations focused on alleged corrupt
relations between police officers and other individuals in society.
Says provincial police spokesperson, Captain FC van
Wyk: “After extensive investigations, three members were arrested during the
past week. The other two are from Strand and Macassar. More arrests of members
are imminent”.
“The management in the Western Cape has vowed to
root out criminal elements within its ranks and we trust that these arrest will
send a strong message to other would-be criminals within the police.”
