Six people including police members were arrested in Johannesburg after allegedly kidnapping a person while impersonating the Hawks and demanding a R2m ransom.

“The information was operationalised and real members of the directorate for priority crime investigation pounced on the suspects,” said Mogale.

The victim positively identified his kidnappers, including a police sergeant and a constable. Another suspect was wanted in a corruption case.“The national head for the directorate for priority crime investigation Lt-Gen Godfrey Lebeya lauded the members for a sterling job and warned those who are intent on tarnishing the image of the directorate to beware that the directorate will respond decisively,” said Mogale.
