EMPD nabs two speedsters

The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) High Speed Unit Officers, monitoring the stipulated 80kmh speed limit, nabbed two speedsters for excessive speeding.

The EMPD High-Speed Unit officers arrested two lawbreakers for not adhering to the speed limit on August 4 in Brackendowns.

The officers, deployed at the corner of Kliprivier Drive and Vaal Road, stopped a white VW Golf hatchback driven by a 34-year-old male for clocking 146km/h instead of 80km/h.

“Both motorists, facing reckless and negligent driving charges, were handcuffed and taken to the Brackendowns SAPS. The duo will appear at the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court.

“The EMPD emphasises to the public and motorists that speed kills,” said the EMPD’s media liaison officer, Katlego Mphahlele.
