A police detective and his female accomplice who were bust in a sting operation for allegedly trying to extort R15,000 from her boyfriend will appear in court on Monday.
"The two were arrested on Friday evening by the Hawk’s serious corruption investigation team after they allegedly conspired to extort R15,000 from the accomplice’s boyfriend," Maluleke said in a statement.
The boyfriend allegedly paid R4,000 on the spot and promised to pay the balance during the day. The Hawks were notified and, during a sting operation, the girlfriend was arrested after getting the remaining cash.
