The City’s Metro Police and the South African Police Services arrested a Metro Police officer in Mitchell’s Plain after he was found with TIK in his possession last night.
The officer’s suspected illegal activities have been under investigation for a long time.
Polices confiscated his service firearm and arrested his wife on charges of drug-dealing, following a raid on their house.
Another suspect, allegedly linked to the officer, was arrested later that evening for possession of narcotics following a raid on her house.
Metro Police Deputy Chief, Yolanda Faro said “We have an obligation to act when any wrongdoing by our members is brought to our attention.”
“This arrest is the result of good cooperation between the Metro Police and the SAPS during the investigation. Metro Police will continue to maintain its zero tolerance approach in our fight against crime, irrespective of whether the culprit is one of our members,” said Faro.
The officer appeared in Mitchell’s Plain court today and will remain in police custody till his next court appearance on August 30.
