Gauteng police mean business when they say they will get rid of criminal elements within the ranks, as seen with the arrest of police officers accused of various crimes over the weekend of 10 and 11 February 2018.

A Khutsong Constable and five others were arrested for extortion and for allegedly kidnapping a 36 year old foreign national in Potchefstroom.

The six were arrested and the victim rescued following the swift response by police after an attack on a family member who had delivered the ransom fee in the West Rand.

The arrested suspect will appear before a magistrate court in Gauteng on Monday 12 February 2018.
