A policeman who was on duty when he robbed a man in 2014 is lucky to have only been given a 12-year sentence for armed robbery.

The uncontested evidence was that when the complainant and his brother proceeded on their way after their conversation with the police officers at the stationary police van, the police vehicle drove past them twice as they continued to walk along the road.

The complainant said he instantly recognised his assailant by the Springbok jacket he was wearing. He did not have the opportunity to identify the second assailant.
