FOLLOWING the arrest of the eThekwini Municipality employee earlier this week for alleged theft, sabotage and vandalism of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras, two more arrests were made yesterday after two employees were suspected of stealing and illegally transporting municipal diesel for their personal use.
In a statement released by the municipality, they said, “We are committed to ensuring a resolution to this case so that those linked to this elaborate scheme face the full might of the law. We believe the investigation will lead to more arrests,” said Metro Police acting head commissioner Sbonelo Mchunu.
