TimesLIVE reports that two police sergeants and four constables from the Khayelitsha detective service were arrested on Wednesday by their anti-corruption unit colleagues for allegedly submitting fraudulent expense claims.
Police spokesperson Capt Frederick van Wyk said the suspects had travelled to the Eastern Cape for investigation purposes between 18 January 2022 and 25 September that year and “on their return submitted fraudulent claims for subsistence and travelling allowance to the total amount of R16,065”. According to allegations, they would pay for accommodation and then request a receipt with a higher amount reflected as having been paid. Members would also share a room but then requested two separate receipts. One of the members faces an additional charge of defeating the administration of justice on another Khayelitsha case after failing to make travel and accommodation arrangements for a witness in a pending murder case. Combined, the members face 26 counts of fraud. They are expected to appear in the Khayelitsha Magistrate’s Court on Thursday.
