Cybercrime Act, Commercial Crime Unit detectives in conjunction with Irdeto
South Africa (Multichoice), obtain a search warrant to search a premises in
Berlios Street, Paarl and arrested a police sergeant stationed at Durbanville
SAPS,’’ said Sergeant Wesley Twigg, Western Cape police spokesperson.
‘’Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect is a
reseller of WAKA TV which includes DSTV channels without authorization. At the
premises the members confiscated one cellular telephone and one laptop which
were handed in as exhibits and forms part of the investigation. The sale of the
logon credentials to access the channels illegally is estimated at an
substantial amount. The investigation into the matter continues,’’ he added.
The 49-year-old suspect will appear in the Paarl Magistrates’
court once he has been charged.
