A police station commander has been arrested for stealing 18 bags of dagga from the evidence stores of her own station, and then using a police van to transport it to drug dealers, with the help of a constable who is on the run.
And in another case involving police officers, a constable has been arrested for attempted murder and armed robbery.
The Independent Complaints Directorate is investigating both cases, which took place in the Cape Peninsula.
Police spokesman Frederick van Wyk would not be drawn on the arrests, saying the cases had been transferred to the ICD.
The station commander, a 44-year-old female superintendent, was expected to appear in the Somerset West Magistrate's Court today on charges of theft, fraud, dealing in dagga and defeating the ends of justice.
She was arrested on Wednesday after allegedly stealing 18 large bags of dagga from the evidence stores, police spokesman André Traut said. - The Star
