Man arrested for bribing police officer over stop-sign and drugs
A 38-year-old man will soon appear in the Cape Town Magistrates Court on charges of bribery and possession of drugs.
According to the police's FC van Wyk, officers
pulled over the driver after he ignored a stop sign in Parklands.
‘’During questioning, the behaviour and
responses by the occupant seemed suspicious to the officers. The man was asked to exit the vehicle both
him and the vehicle were searched.’’
The search of the vehicle revealed a plastic
bag on the floor containing 200 mandrax tablets.
‘’The suspect then offered the officers R10 000
if they were to turn a blind eye and let him go. He was arrested for possession of drugs and
an additional charge of bribery. The 200
mandrax tablets were booked in as evidence and the vehicle confiscated.’’ Van Wyk
added.
