The Port Elizabeth Magistrates Court granted R500 bail each to Warrant Officer Siyakudumisa Mfazwe (33), Constable Sydney Siyabulela Situnda (36) and 49-year-old Sergeant Dumalisile Ndingane.

Hawks acting heard Major General Mthandazo Ntlemeza said he was disappointed by the police officials involvement in the crimes.
"We are saddened to name and shame our own members but to show that we are serious about rooting out corruption and all forms of criminality within the service and the country at large, charity had to begin at home," he said.
"We hope the arrests of these officers will send a stern warning to others and serve as a lesson that the Hawks’ claws are out to pounce on anyone who is found to be on the wrong side of the law."
