PE cops' daily struggle ... with their cars

The police cowboys are resident in Port Elizabeth if a report tabled in the Legislature is anything to judge by.

The report compiled by the Safety and Security committee states that the police in the Eastern Cape have a “relatively high number” of vehicles damaged in accidents and that this is particularly true in the Port Elizabeth area. Just what “relatively high” means was not explained.

If the vehicles are not damaged then it would appear they are stolen, the report stating that a “high number” of police vehicles are stolen “and very few are recovered”, adding that SAPS should formulate a strategy to ensure stolen vehicles are recovered and that those colluding with members of the public are “severely punished”.
