LIMPOPO – In a determined effort to apply the no-nonsense approach against any form of criminality or corruption, the police arrested the duo, aged 34 and 43, on Sunday 7 July.
According to statement issued by Police spokesperson, Col Moatshe Ngoepe, it is alleged the suspects approached the police officers at the Vehicle Investigation Unit and offered them a bribe of thousands of rands, in return for the release of two vehicles that were seized during a sting operation that was conducted a week ago.
The said vehicles, were confiscated on 1 July after the police intercepted a possible trio crime syndicate following a tip-off to police by the local community regarding a group of armed men en-route from Gauteng to Makhado. During the arrest, two suspected stolen motor vehicles, eight signal jammers, alarm system control monitors and mechanical equipment were recovered by the police.
