TimesLIVE reports that a KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) police constable has been arrested for allegedly soliciting a R7,000 bribe.
The Durban North constable, 30, allegedly asked the complainant who crashed his car on Monday for the money. “The police officer did not open a case. He towed the vehicle and informed the vehicle owner to pay him R7,000 in cash for him to release his vehicle,” said police spokesperson Col Thembeka Mbele. The constable was arrested on Tuesday evening and was allegedly found to be in possession of two cellphones as well as the money he had solicited. He was scheduled to appear in the Durban Magistrate’s Court on Thursday.
