The men were approached by the cops shortly after with drawing cash at an ATM in Groblersdal.


Police spokesperson Motlafela Mojapelo says the officers put the suspects in the police car and drove off.


"While driving the members allegedly stopped the minibus and forcefully took an amount of R5 000 from the complainant and gave them an amount of R60 to take a taxi ride home.


"The complainant managed to get assistance and immediately went to Motetema Police Station to report the incident, the four members were arrested while on duty at Sekhukhune district offices.”


The suspects are expected to appear before the Groblersdal Magistrate's Court on Wednesday facing charges of common robbery.
