Mom, kids jailed for assault

According to Rossouw, the Burgers, who were still barefoot, were held over the weekend in the cells. "They wanted to lay a charge of theft at the police station, but they were not allowed to do it," said Rossouw.

Police spokesperson Captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg, said police were not allowed to accept such a charge unless the cellphone was already blacklisted and an ITC number had been submitted.

Notwithstanding that it could have been a case of mistaken identity, where do the cops get this stupid notion that the phone has to be blacklisted before they can deal with the theft.
