Four police officers attached to the national border control unit at Cape Town International Airport have been arrested for allegedly robbing Chinese-owned businesses.

Western Cape community safety MEC Albert Fritz said on Wednesday the officers were allegedly part of a robbery in Montague Gardens on Saturday.

“I welcome these arrests as they send a strong message against criminal conduct within the police services. Our officers are duty-bound to serve and protect all residing within our province. We cannot allow the force to be undermined by those who wish to cause harm or undermine safety in the province,” said Fritz.

“This particular incident left members of the Chinese community feeling targeted by criminal elements and concerned about the involvement of police. We have previously seen similar incidents of Chinese business people being kidnapped and held at ransom. “We must continue to ensure that measures, such as these arrests, are made as they send a strong message to would-be criminals targeting business people and members of the Chinese community.”
