The robbery with aggravated circumstances and fraud case against EMPD official Adrian MacKenzie, former EMPD official Kersha Leigh Stols and private security boss Etienne Van Der Walt is back this morning for possible bail application.
Lawyers representing the accused who allegedly raided an apartment in Killarney under the false pretense of a legitimate police operation are expected to argue that their clients are not a flight risk as they handed themselves over to police after being summoned. They're accused of stealing precious stones worth over 14 million rand, the group sold the valuable minerals for just R110,000, with each of the five participants pocketing a roughly R22,000.
The arrests follow Witness K, who was a JMPD officer and the former girlfriend of suspended EMPD Deputy Chief Julius Mkhwanazi, who testified at the Madlanga Commission that she and Mkhwanazi plotted the theft.
