A cross-border officer accused of targeting women motorists, on Durban's M4 highway, will line up in court again next week for his bail application.
Vincent Botha appeared in the Durban Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.
He was nabbed by the Hawks on Monday following an investigation into several cases of kidnapping, intimidation, and assault on the busy route.
The National Prosecuting Authority in KZN says Botha, who works for a private entity, is accused of targeting women driving luxury cars.
