A police intelligence-driven operation conducted at the Bellville Magistrate's Court in Cape Town on Friday, in conjunction with police national intervention unit members, has led to the arrest of a 43 year-old police constable for allegedly attempting to smuggle contraband to prisoners.
Western Cape police say officers received information and acted swiftly to arrest the suspect when he was found in possession of 329 grams of dagga, two knives, a bottle of whisky, cigarettes, tobacco, and various other forms of contraband.
The items were apparently destined for inmates.
Captain FC van Wyk said the cop is expected to appear in the Bellville Magistrate's Court on Monday on charges of corruption.
