Two Hawks officers in court for supplying ammunition to traditional healer
Two Hawks officers and a traditional healer are expected to appear in court on charges of theft and dealing in ammunition.
The two officers, who were arrested on Friday, are expected to appear in court on Monday.
Hawks spokesperson Thandi Mbambo says the arrests followed a tip-off about a colonel who intended to supply police ammunition to a traditional healer.
“The female traditional healer was subsequently arrested at her place of residence in Soshanguve on 27 May after an exchange was made.
"She was charged with illegal possession of ammunition and possession of suspected stolen property following the seizure of other items suspected to belong to the state."
Mbambo says further investigations led to the arrest of a female officer who was charged with theft and dealing in ammunition.
“Another female captain was arrested and charged with defeating the ends of justice after it was discovered that she tried to conceal evidence in this matter."
The traditional healer is expected to appear in the Pretoria North Magistrate's Court while the two officers will appear in the Pretoria Central Magistrate's Court.
