Bogus cop arrested in Johannesburg

She was allegedly collecting money from foreign-owned shops in the city. 

Johannesburg police spokesperson Xoli Mbhele says her victims thought she was a police captain. 

"Police were busy with their routine crime prevention duties when they receive a complaint about a female wearing police uniform demanding money from shops owned by foreign nationals.

"She told the police she is a captain working at Johannesburg central police. She was also in possession of a fake police appointment card." 

The woman is expected to appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court soon.
