WATCH: ‘Dirty cops’ arrested in Mugg & Bean in sting operation

The Citizen was sent video footage on Monday of two Cape Town policemen being arrested for allegedly accepting a bribe.

A police captain and warrant officer of the Lentegeur SAPS were taken into custody at the Zevenwacht Mall in Kuils River, Cape Town on Friday afternoon during a sting operation in conjunction with the police’s crime intelligence unit.

The one policeman was still in his uniform when he was marched out in handcuffs. He was stripped of his police badge and ID.

The other one was in plain clothes.

In what the police call a case of handing over “trap money” by a “complainant” of R10,000 in relation to possibly acquiring a firearm licence, when the two suspects were arrested they were found with R5,000 each.

They were detained at the Kuils River police station over the weekend to appear in the Kuils River Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

The names of both officers are known to The Citizen.
