POLOKWANE: The Provincial Commissioner of Police in Limpopo Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe has welcomed the arrest of a 52 year old Police Captain for her alleged involvement in corruption which she allegedly committed on 10 December 2022 in Bela-Bela. It is alleged that the Captain who is attached to the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigations (DPCI) at Pretoria Central, Gauteng Province, had on Saturday 10 December 2022 approached the complainant and informed him that there were fraudulent activities happening in his bank account and therefore she is going to freeze his bank accounts. She then demanded a gratification of R250 000-00 (Two Hundred and fifty thousand rand) in exchange for this not to happen. The matter was reported to the Police who then commenced with investigation. A sting operation was conducted at Bela Bela whereby the alleged suspect was arrested after receiving the money from the complainant. "We welcome this arrest and warn other members of the South African Police Service that corrupt activities will not be tolerated in the Organization". Concluded Lieutenant General Hadebe.
The suspect is scheduled to appear in court on Monday 19 December 2022 facing a charge of corruption.
