A South African police officer has been arrested for stealing
meat and alcohol during a supermarket break-in last week,
police said on Monday.
The unidentified junior officer from the southern port city of
Durban was nabbed on Saturday morning by his colleagues
following a tip-off.
According to a police statement, the break-in occurred on
Friday evening.
The shop's door was forcibly opened and a "large quantity of
meat and liquor" stolen.
"It is alleged that some of the property stolen from the store
was recovered at the policeman's residence," said the
statement.
More goods were recovered from another man suspected to
have bought them from the officer.
The policeman is in custody and is due in court on January 20
for bail hearing.
