News - KwaZulu-Natal: Officer held for robbery: "Officer held for robbery"
A Durban police officer has been arrested after trying to steal a woman's bank card at a Pietermaritzburg shopping centre on Saturday.

Police Superintendent Henry Budhram said the police officer, a constable stationed in Durban, and his accomplice confronted the woman at an ATM at the Polly Shortts shopping complex in Cleland on Saturday afternoon.

"The woman was withdrawing cash when she was approached by two men, who began interfering with the ATM by pressing the keys. The woman's bank card was then removed by the men."

The woman, however, snatched her card back and screamed, attracting the attention of people nearby.
