EWN reports that ten Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EDPD) police and SA Police Service (SAPS) officers charged with theft spent another night in prison as their bail applications were set to continue on Wednesday.
The officers made their first appearance in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court for their bail applications on Tuesday. As the officers walked into the court with their faces covered, each was asked to remove his mask to allow the court to identify him. The officers have been charged with theft for taking stock and a large sum of money from a shop in Edenvale during a spaza shop compliance operation. A spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority said the state did not intend to oppose bail.
