“Upon request, they failed to produce identification or appointment certificates, leading to a backup call to Bedfordview Crime Prevention officers,” said Modiga.
The arrested men were detained at the Bedfordview Police Station.
During questioning, they alleged that they had borrowed the vehicle from a Norkem Park police officer.
Modiga added, “A warrant officer from Norkem Park confirmed the vehicle belonged to him, and the case is under investigation.”
