Cops who witnessed criminals stealing cables and did nothing to face charges
Pretoria - Two police officers who witnessed criminals stealing cables near the Reiger Park police station and did not do anything to stop them are due to face disciplinary charges.
This was revealed by the Gauteng provincial Legislature’s Portfolio Committee on Community Safety following their visit to Reiger Park police station in Ekurhuleni on Friday.
The committee visited the station following numerous complaints from the community about rampant cable theft, causing power outages.
Committee chairperson Dr Bandile Masuku commended the new station commander, Lieutenant-Colonel Bongani Dube, and his team for their significant strides to reduce prevalent cable theft in Reiger Park.
They were told how outages affected the community and businesses, and contributed to increased crime levels in the area. They also received a report on the successful arrests of a suspected syndicate behind the crime, which also cripples service delivery in the area.
