Four suspects believed to be members of metered taxi have been arrested in Pretoria on Friday following a robbery of an Uber driver. The suspects stopped an Uber lady driver and demanded an amount of R1500.00 from her after initially impersonating as traffic officers.
The suspects are expected to appear in Pretoria Magistrate Court on Monday, 14 December 2020.
“Gauteng Traffic Police would like to appeal to the members of various taxi associations to refrain from impersonating as officers, stopping vehicles illegally and demanding money,” said Sello Maremane, Gauteng Traffic Police Spokesperson.
“The law enforcement authorities will continue to root out all corrupt elements within the province and all those found impersonating officers will face the full might of law,” added Sello Maremane.
The members of the public are therefore encouraged to continue reporting any form of lawlessness to the law enforcement officers.
