The police anti-corruption unit in the Eastern Cape is investigating a warrant officer who allegedly pocketed the “bail” money of four women who had been arrested on a charge of fraud.
Provincial police spokeswoman Brigadier Marinda Mills confirmed last week that the unit was probing the matter.
The police officer allegedly told the women to pay R4 500 “bail” into his personal bank account. The four women were arrested after they allegedly tried to open an account using fraudulent documents at a clothing store in the East London CBD.
