CRIME suspects posing as police officers in Mseleni were tracked down by SAPS officers this week.
Two were arrested in possession of a 9mm pistol with seven live rounds, while a third who managed to escape is still at large.
The two arrested men were charged with the possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition, possession of suspected stolen property, as well as the impersonation of police officers.
The men will appear in the Ubombo Magistrate’s Court.

And to think we are meant to stop if asked to by police. What happens to women travelling alone or with young children? Is anywhere safe these days? Is it coming to a point where going anywhere is considered too dangerous because how do we trust those that are here to protect us? Posing as policemen in a road block is serious. I mostly certainly will never ever stop again. They can follow me to the nearest police station but I will never stop on the road side again for anybody dressed in a uniform. I don’t even want to consider what these men are capable of. I do not want to be hijacked, murdered or raped or any of my children to have to go through this ever in their lives. We are getting to a stage in society where we cannot even go to the stores safely anymore. How can the government allow this continue? Pathetic honestly. Corruption and crime is getting worse by the minute and everybody concentrating on getting grants and toilets. For goodness sake. This has to stop. As it is we don’t even go for family walks in the day because of the loitering and drinking in public and these have sex in the open in residential areas and phoning the police makes no difference because there is nothing they do. We live in a sick society that seriously needs help. If only my children could have memories of their childhood like I have of mine. So not fair. Makes my heart extremely sad to see how our children are growing up in an immoral society with no values.
