GAUTENG \u2013 The Germiston based Hawks’ Serious Corruption Investigation team assisted by the police officers from the Vhulaudzi SAPS in Limpopo arrested a 46-year-old former police Sergeant for corruption.<\/p>\n
She will appear at the Dzanani Magistrates’ Court today, 20 July 2022 and the matter will be transferred to the Palm Ridge Specialised Commercial Crimes Court.<\/p>\n
It is alleged that in 2016, the suspect who was stationed in Tembisa SAPS at the time approached the complainant whose vehicle was impounded after it was used in the commission of a crime and demanded R12 000-00 to release it. The money was paid but the bakkie was not released.<\/p>\n
In another incident in 2017, she pretended to be a police Captain when she allegedly approached a taxi driver who was involved in an accident in Olifantsfontein and demanded cash to ‘squash’ the docket. R6000-00 was paid and the taxi owner reported the matter then a case was opened.<\/p>\n
When she learnt about the allegations, she resigned and disappeared from the Gauteng province. Both dockets were investigated by the Hawks and the warrant for her arrest was issued by the court.<\/p>\n
The suspect was tracked and traced to a village in Limpopo where she was arrested yesterday, 19 July 2022 on corruption charges.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
