Following a 6 month investigation into the illegal sale of learners and drivers licences in the West Coast, a 49-year-old traffic officer was arrested this morning at his residence.

Superintendent André Traut said that a 32-year-old administrative clerk was also arrested at the offices of the Veldrift municipality.

Superintendent Traut also said that “a further two men aged 49 and 42 were also arrested in Hopefield in Mitchell’s Plain. We believe they are part of the scam to recruit perspective buyers that bought their licences from the officials.”

According to Superintendent Traut the four will be appearing in the Vredenburg Court on Friday the 28th of November.
