Cape shop owner accuses police of stealing his cigarette stock | DailyVoiceSA | Day39ofLockdown
The 40-year-old, who asked not to be named, says he got a fright when cops returned two weeks after he reported them and stole another stash of cigarettes and cash.
“They went to the storeroom and took all the cigarettes I put away because we are not allowed to sell.” The confused businessman says he tried to question the officers, but instead they klapped his store assistant and took cash before leaving.“She was a female captain and every time I tried to answer they shouted at me to keep quiet,” the shop owner says.“They took Stuyvesant, Marlboro and other cigarettes and a lot of money.“I went and reported them because something like this has never happened to me in all the years I have been in Hanover Park.
The owner says no investigator has come to see him, but on Thursday, the same officers returned and robbed him again.
