Four constables from the Hekpoort SAPS were allegedly arrested on 8 January for charges of corruption.
According to the police’s facebook page, the four were performing a stop and search operation when they pulled over a truck traveling towards Rustenburg.
Searching the truck, the officers came across what they believed to be stolen goods on the load that included bicycles and a motorbike.
The owner of the truck was allegedly summoned to the Krugersdorp police station where a bribe was demanded.
He then reported the incident to the station where the involved officers were later arrested when they reported back for duty.
The motorbike was confirmed stolen in Parkview earlier this month.
The constables are due to appear at the Krugersdorp Magistrates’ Court later today. A process of internal investigation relating to their conduct is also in progress.
