Johannesburg - Three policemen were arrested in connection with a business robbery on the corner of Jeppe and Harrison streets, Johannesburg police said on Saturday.
"It is alleged that the three police officers stormed into the jewellery shop and produced their appointment certificates claiming to be on official police business," Lieutenant Tshisikhawe Ndou said.
The three allegedly grabbed the shop owner, pointed firearms at him and stole a bag which contained R25 000 and an undisclosed amount of jewellery on Friday at 13:30.
Ndou said in a statement that upon leaving, the trio, aged between 40 and 41, were surprised by sector police, searched and arrested.
The stolen goods were recovered, as well as a blue BMW with false registration that was allegedly to be used as the getaway car.
A fourth suspect who was in the car managed to flee the scene with the BMW's keys, Ndou said.
