A police Constable will likely be charged with perjury after he had reported a case of attempted murder whilst he was allegedly injured in the leg during a scuffle with a victim of a hijacking. Initially he claimed that he had been shot by suspects who may have tried to hijack him. At a later stage, he was identified at the hospital as one of the suspects who had hijacked a Toyota minibus in Mamelodi.
He was arrested at the Pholosong Hospital where he had booked himself for treatment. He was off-duty at the time of the incident.
Two other policemen from Randfontein were arrested for theft of cement and assault of a security guard at the Affri Village business premises. It is alleged that they entered the business premises whilst they were on duty. Inside the premises, they allegedly stole a bag of cement.
A security guard who confronted them at the gate was allegedly assaulted. They are due to appear at the Randfontein Magistrate Court.
