KwaThema – Members of SAPS Anti-Corruption Unit in Gauteng arrested a 38-year-old constable on charges of corruption, extortion and defeating the ends of justice on Thursday.
The arrest comes after police were alerted to an arrangement in which four suspects who were found in possession of a hijacked vehicle, were going to pay the constable an amount of R10 000 in exchange for the officer ensuring the case docent was misplaced and the case could not go to court for prosecution.
