Johannesburg - A 33-year-old South African Police Service detective constable from Kempton Park police station has been arrested for kidnapping and armed robbery, Gauteng police said on Saturday.
“It is alleged that on Monday 22 August 2016 the complainant, a Senegalese national (male), arrived at OR Tambo International Airport from Pretoria (Sunnyside),” Brigadier Selvy Mohlala said.
He was on his way to Hong Kong to buy stock for his shop. Upon his arrival at the airport he went to the SAA platinum check-in counter to check the flight information to Hong Kong. He then proceeded to exchange South African currency into an undisclosed amount of US dollars. He kept some money which was not converted into dollars.
At about 3pm while the victim was on his way to the check-in point, he was intercepted by two African men. One of the men identified himself as a police officer stationed at crime intelligence in Kempton Park
