A police reservist and Tsantsabane municipal employees were arrested by the Provincial SAPS Anti-Corruption Investigation Unit(ACIU) for fraud, extortion, and impersonating a police officer. The suspects were arrested in Postmasburg on 17 October 2023.
The Northern Cape police spokesperson, Lieutenant Col, Sergio Kock said, the suspects allegedly extorted an undisclosed amount of money from a business owner in Postmasburg during July 2021.
“The suspects allegedly posed as police detectives investigating a case of sexual harassment against the complainant and extorted money from him. They promised him to make the case docket disappear. The suspects will appear in Postmasburg Magistrate’s Court soon and the investigation continues.
“The SAPS management lauds the Provincial SAPS ACIU for the arrests and reiterates that the police have zero tolerance for ill-discipline and corruption,” said Kock.
