Two Tshwane metro cops arrested for operating outside jurisdiction as city cracks down on misconduct

Two Tshwane metro police department (TMPD) officers were arrested by their counterparts over the weekend in Diepsloot, Johannesburg, for operating outside their assigned area using a private vehicle.
The City of Tshwane said the two officers had no permission to operate outside their jurisdiction.
Considering the recent spate of allegations against some TMPD members, the actions by the two officers were indeed questionable and very odd,” said Tshwane mayor Cilliers Brink.
Brink said the TMPD integrity unit was also investigating seven officers for using illegal breathalysers in two separate incidents over the long weekend.
“In the first incident, five officers were also found to be operating outside their assigned area, where a member of the public was later found to have allegedly been extorted and robbed, likely by this same group,” Brink said.
He said a criminal investigation has since been launched with full co-operation from the TMPD.
