Fifteen police members have been arrested across the country in the past 24hours.
Police General Bheki Cele was speaking yesterday at the memorial service for the seven officers who died in a helicopter crash while responding to a robbery in Emalahleni last week.
Lieutenant General Arno Lamoer stated that six officers were arrested in the Northern Cape, two in Pretoria and one in Mpumalanga.
He also stated that what is more shocking is that the six more arrested in KwaZulu-Natal were members of the elite tactical response team.
Arno Lamoer was reported as saying People that we trained highly for the purpose of fighting crime are getting involved in things like this.
That is totally unacceptable and we will not stop until we root out all criminals.”
The fifteen police members who are arrested will appear in court soon but are now in custody.
