Mpumalanga police spokesperson Brig Leonard Hlathi said the officer was allegedly involved in some of the business robberies. “The latest robbery occurred on April 10 when a group of armed suspects violently stormed a clothing shop and held the staff hostage at gunpoint. The suspects instructed the victims to stay in the storeroom while they helped themselves to items, including cellphones and clothing items to an estimated value of about R150,000.”
Hlathi confirmed that an internal investigation to determine the officer’s fitness to remain a police officer was instituted after his arrest.
