The conduct of officers involved in a videotaped arrest of a woman in Strand on Friday is being probed by Western Cape police after preliminary investigations found no basis to charge her.
The situation escalates when a police prisoner transport vehicle arrives. Another police member walks up to the woman and grabs her by her arm and drags her to the prisoner transport vehicle while the woman can be heard shouting, “Help me! Help me!”.
“The police officials were interviewed and the basis for the arrest is yet to be determined,” said Potelwa. “Preliminary findings indicate that after being taken to Strand police station, the woman was released as detectives could find no basis for her to be charged,” she said. “As the investigation into the conduct of these police officials progresses, police members are cautioned about regard for the rights other persons,” said Potelwa.
