“It is alleged that on June 4 during a multidisciplinary operation by law enforcement, the accused officers raided a shop in Edenvale where they seized cigarettes and took R35,000 in cash and three packs of headache tablets to the value of about R5,000,” Independent Police Investigative Directorate spokesperson Lizzy Suping indicated. The nine constables and a sergeant arrested the cashier for trading in illicit cigarettes and another employee for violating immigration laws. The accused officers failed to record all the merchandise seized from the shop at the police station. The shop manager disputed the quantity and type of merchandise booked in the occurrence book to the station commander.
