Sign up with GooglePolice - from top brass to hands-on investigators - are "gatvol" with the judicial system repeatedly failing them in their endeavours to fight highly organised crime.
So says Gauteng SAPS Deputy Commissioner (crime prevention), Bushie Engelbrecht.
Engelbrecht was commenting on the fact that several of the 24 cash heist suspects arrested at the Mvoti toll gate in KwaZulu-Natal this week were already out on bail for similar offences, including the recent brazen heist at Johannesburg International Airport.
The Sunday Tribune has established that at least five of the suspects are out on bail for alleged offences.
In one case, Shikunwela (Fox) Sithole, 31, was granted bail of R20 000 in connection with the airport heist. He was immediately re-arrested in connection with a cash heist in Cleveland last year, but again granted bail.
It is believed that he was also granted bail in connection with a cash heist in Klerksdorp.
Hamilton Mazibuko, 32, was arrested in July in connection with a heist in Mothutlung in the North West Province. It is not clear whether he escaped or is out on bail. Others out on bail are Mpho (Faith) Tsotensi, 29, Bongani Tshabalala, 26, and Johannes Fono Langa, 34.
