According to police spokesperson Brig Motlafela Mojapelo, the four were on duty using a marked police minibus last Wednesday when they reportedly spotted three men withdrawing money from the ATM at the Mall in Groblersdal and apparently suspected them of being undocumented foreign nationals. “While driving along the road, the members allegedly stopped the minibus and forcefully took R5,000 from the complainants and gave them R60 to take a taxi ride home,” Mojapelo said.
“The matter was later handed over to the provincial anti-corruption team for further investigations and a warrant of arrest was subsequently issued against the four.
