Western Cape Police have arrested four of their own, in connection with a house robbery in Llandudno.

 

 

The incident dates back to 14 September 2024.

 

 

The case was subsequently reported at Hout Bay SAPS, and referred to the Western Cape anti-corruption unit for further investigation. Police spokesperson, Frederick Van Wyk explains what ensued:

 

 

“Investigations by seasoned detectives led to the arrest of police members over a period of time. A 44-year-old sergeant was apprehended on 14 September 2024, at about 16:00 at 35 Squadron, Belhar and at about 17:20 a 28-year-old constable was arrested at Gugulethu SAPS. Both appeared in the Wynberg Magistrates’ Court on 17 September 2024 and the case was remanded to 23 September 2024,” said Van Wyk.
