TWO SAPS MEMBERS AMONG EIGHT BUSTED IN BEDFORDVIEW ROBBERY

By Mashamba Media

Bedfordview was rocked on Sunday after police swooped in and arrested eight suspects linked to a brazen business robbery — including TWO serving SAPS members!

The suspects were allegedly caught red-handed loading stolen stock from a storage facility before making a run for it in a Toyota one-ton truck and two VW Polo cars.

But their escape didn’t last long. In a dramatic chase involving Gauteng’s Tactical Response Team, Traffic Police, and the Air Wing, the group was intercepted in Zandspruit, Honeydew.

In a shocking twist, two of the arrested suspects are police officers based in Florida. SAPS bosses have slammed the alleged betrayal, saying corrupt cops damage the integrity of the force.

All eight suspects are expected to appear in court soon on charges of business robbery and possession of stolen goods.

Investigations are ongoing.
