Motorist arrested for bribery
Any member of the public who tries to bribe an official will face jail time, police warned.
Pretoria Central police have issued a stern warning to motorists after a 26-year-old was arrested for trying to bribe an officer on Sunday.
Any member of the public who tries to bribe an official will face jail time, Pretoria Central police spokesperson Constable Thabang Nkhumise warned.
“This 26-year-old suspect was driving an unroadworthy vehicle when he was stopped on the corners of Nana Sita and Paul Kruger streets. When officials questioned him about the vehicle, he offered them cash so they could let him leave.
“The members refused the money and the motorist was arrested on the spot,” Nkhumise said.
The vehicle was taken to the VIS unit to be booked in as evidence.
Nkhumise said a total of 21 people were also arrested in the CBD for various crimes during police patrols and road blocks during the past Easter weekend.
