Western Cape MEC of Community
Safety Dan Plato has welcomed the arrest of a police officer in Gauteng
MEC Plato said this is a huge
blow against gangster killers destroying our communities and hopes that
Commissioner Arno Lamoer will continue his zero tolerance regarding police
corruption and criminality.
MEC Plato said he continuously
ask police intelligence to be on top of this situation, to unravel this
situation because we cannot continue standing-by watching how our sons lose
their lives, even as young as ten to fourteen years old losing their lives
because of the numbers game.
MEC Plato said this
breakthrough will help a lot in getting to the bottom of the situation.
MEC Plato said he does not
believe this was an act on its own, he believes more people are involved.
Meanwhile MEC Plato has also
raised his concern regarding the police’s firearm database as the police only
discovered the missing firearms too late.
Some of the weapons police
confiscated during the arrest had their serial numbers erased and after tests
revealed that the weapons had been in the, Gauteng Firearms and Liquor Control
Unit.
MEC Plato said this
breakthrough also gives rise to other questions, which leads to the police
database with regard to their guns at their police stations.
MEC Plato said this is to him
a shambles, because they only now detected that so many guns ended up in the
wrong hands after they have been stressing this for so many years.
