Durban cop to appear in court for theft
A police officer who has been charged with
theft after allegedly stealing a bank card from a vehicle recovered from a
fatal carjacking in Malvern will appear in court on Monday.
The officer, who is based in Cato Manor, was arrested on Friday morning.
Police say the bank card he had in his possession belongs to the mother of 11-year-old Zarah Ramsamy, who was killed during a hijacking outside a fast-food restaurant last month.
Officials say the arrested constable had been tasked with retrieving the stolen car after it was found abandoned.

A spokesperson for police union Popcru, Richard Mamabolo, says it is worrying behaviour.
"In such cases where there have been allegations of corruption against the members of the police, we will have to take things seriously."
