Woman's grassing cops dope thieves

Three Atteridgeville police reservists were arrested after a woman complained that they had stolen her dagga, police said yesterday.

Inspector Daniel Mavimbela said the 37-year-old woman arrived at the Atteridgeville police station complaining about her missing dagga.

"She alleged that the suspects were police officials of which one of them was known to her and was spotted by a witness taking the dagga from the woman's shack."

Mavimbela said three police reservists were questioned but denied any knowledge of the dagga.

Police officers found 60kg of dagga worth an estimated R60 000 at the home of one reservist.

Two other reservists, a man, 26, and woman, 29, were arrested on charges of defeating the ends of justice, corruption and possession of dagga.

The woman who complained was also charged with dealing in drugs. - Sapa
