A Cape Town Central police officer appeared in court today after his arrest at the weekend, for possession of drugs and an instrument to commit a criminal act.

The 25 year old constable was arrested during stop and search patrols at the corners of Jan Smuts Drive and Klipfontein Road.

Captain Frederick van Wyk says also in the constable’s possession, were 18 sets of car keys, possibly used for car theft.

The police’s dog unit carried out the search, and also recovered one stop of dagga and two units of tik.

Van Wyk says the police are not offering preferential treatment to anyone, be they civilian or in the police.

“Everyone will be treated the same. If you break the law, we will come after you. It doesn’t matter if you’re an ordinary citizen or a policeman. All criminals will feel the brunt of the law,” said Van Wyk.
