Two police officers stationed at the Pienaar Police Station in Mpumalanga have been arrested for allegedly illegally escorting three bakkies heavily loaded with liquor. via SABCNewsOnline

The two officers were arrested together with the drivers of the bakkies including an owner of a tavern.

“Two police officers from Pienaar Police station were arrested for defeating the ends of Justice and for use of motor vehicle without owner’s consent after they were stopped at a roadblock by the South African National Defence Force. It was found that they were escorting three vehicles fully laden with alcohol. The alcohol is believed to belong to an owner of a tavern.

Meanwhile, three suspects who broke into a liquor store in Stellenbosch will spend the remainder of the Easter Weekend in lock up. “Traffic officials nearby, manning a roadblock stopped the suspects’ vehicle and discovered the stolen bottles of liquor. Three suspects aged 43; 33 and 29 are expected to appear in court on Tuesday on charges of burglary and theft.”This week, Police Minister Bheki Cele was in the Western Cape to enforce lockdown regulations. He said there seems to be a crime syndicate in the province targeting liquor stores and outlets.

I'm proud Kznite had lived in Mpumalanga for the past three years, never had seen a province so corrupt as that one, police, municipality's provincial govt yo yo yo. Not that we are innocent here in KZN though.

But people are looting liquor stores and police were helping escort the liquor to a safe place..ah this government is shit ..

iamcyprian Expose and arrest this corrupt police officers. Get rid of this rogue elements out of the system.

You cannot be risking your job at the time when economist are predicting a bloodbath

It was only a matter of time before the police returned to their usual preoccupation.

mathandeyncane Ekasi madoda 😱😭

Someone must account because those policemen were doing someone's dirty work

😡😡😡😡😡😡

jayjbotes Where in the world is THE HAT now ? Come Genl sort out your men ? SAPS is a law upon themselves!!!!

Zilambile izinja...

They even sell the liquor all over

Abramjee And with this mentality we are supposed to fight this pandemic. It is pathetic. SAPS should subject him to an immediate disciplinary hearing. Thank you to those law abiding officers who work long hours from their families. We salute you. Get rid of the corrupt.

Corruption

Good. Thry deserve to rot in jail

Those hunters from the rural areas will tell u, ..'if u want yo dogs🐕to be always energetic to catch u something when u take them hunting, make sure u win their trust first, by rewarding them after every kill they make, bcos if u don't, they'll devoure the catch themselves..'🤔

🤦‍♀️

Any Rotten Police Officer Must face the might of the law,SA should develop separate laws for police thugs because they are the guardians of our democracy and justice.

Kind east gesture. New beginnings.

You know this is sad, bad and somehow of no surprise when the first reaction is to giggle, smile, or laugh while cringing in disgust, getting upset and angry. SAPoliceService GenBheki_Cele come on General, the system is rotten - change the core Okaemolao

Cele's men

Enghumbhini And GenBheki_Cele is very verbal about how they will handle the situation.

SA Police at it again! 😔🙄😏

Was'nt it en route to Lim'Popo'...you know..the cucci brigade..?

Where is the chap with the hat?

Where is Pienaar? I don’t have a map.

To protect and to serve who?

Porlitia Mpumalanga Cops are the most corrupt.

Spy Jozi lol I’m not surprised.

Kuyanyiwa vha!

GenBheki_Cele YOUR cops are amongst the most corrupt people in SA which makes you one of the most useless leaders!!!

Enghumbhini Stupid officers, lock them

Then may be unbanned alcohol

As much as love my people , when the leadership has spoken , we all tow the line . Those two must be shown the door

Wonder what other crimes were they up to without being caught.

They have no shame

I'm so disappointed with the kind of Police we have. They can't be trusted

We are busy looking for criminals in wrong places while they're hidden in a blue uniform

SAPS !!

A lot of policeman are also bring arrested interesting

😂 😂 😂

Compaorist The police are the biggest criminals.

In Cape Town two arrested for buying alcohol with intention to inflate prices in the black market. They ran through backdoor of the bottle store climbing into a police vehicle nogal

pmcafrica This is definitely not the GiftOfTheGivers warehouse!! It may be confiscated products though. Abramjee LockdownSA .... EasterSunday Day17ofLockdown

It is very hard to teust the police. Thanks to whoever arrested them. Thisbis a shame. Now you can imagine how much crime is under the support and escort of the police all this time!!

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Good job

To have effective lockdown, send all police on leave n leave army to get things done. All police are jst scumbags

The only problem in this country is criminal elements within the police. We shout as loud as we can, war against crime will never be won until police criminals are dealt with harshly. This is treason that should be punishable by death!

They all do this even here in cape town😏

They are corrupt there

That's what Cele asked for mos😒

Well done

bhekicele_com you jus going to turn a blind eye, show me how serious you are about Your people not sticking to the rules?

Now alcohol is smuggled. Maybe this incident happen also with other illegal substances whereby cops are on the payroll of some dealers and they even escort them and give them inside information. This is a tip of the iceberg, much more going on in SAPS.

The State has no case against those members. What they were doing was a crime prevention. The owner of the tavern was the only person who was supposed to be arrested for transporting liquor.

Who can we pin the reason for this crime on Mr Cele please advise us on this who has driven the people to this crime

Not surprised...police are implicated in facilitating most crimes...enhancing g criminal behaviour....making dockets disappear,leaking details of informants to criminals...and this one.....typical

Crime is crime

They getting hungry

Were these people under the influence of alcohol? Angitsi we're blaming alcohol for the crime rate in SA!

How can you ask a sheep to look after a cabbage, it will eat it brother😂😂

Pity they will be released due corruption.

They thought they are by themselves, they are used to doing this corruption covering each other

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The army arrests police officers for booze, who arrests them for killing an innocent man in Alexandra

What I love about the lockdown is the spotlight it has brought on internal corruption.

How come we not surprised.. corruption always MP is bad

Is good all these things r happening so that govt will see that liquor is a contributing factor to crime in SA. They r so addicted to eat that they can violet laws just to get it. CyrilRamaphosa should do something after the lockdown to solve this madness.

Let them burn they going to kill us . instead of protecting us

welcome to SA where criminals are all kept on payroll with lucrative salaries packages that include and not limited to housing private medical pension and overtime - you are welcome please keep voting ANC

Sebelebele Police escorting vehicles carrying liquor .this is interesting .well done soldeirs

Abramjee Put the officers behind bars

Illiterate office, the nation is fighting for covic 19 , but those officer are busy escorting alcoholic, can't they see that they are against the national address. Alcohol= to different types of crimes
