OWN CORRESPONDENT, Durban | Sunday
A DURBAN policeman who has confessed in court his involvement in three of the countrys biggest heists, is still serving with the police, the Sunday Times newspaper reported.
Inspector Rajendra Sewrajlall of the crime and intelligence unit admitted in the Durban High Court that he made and supplied armour-piercing bullets that were used in the R7.4m SBV robbery in Pinetown in May 1998.
He conspired to launder the proceeds from the R31m robbery at the SBV depot in Pinetown in August 1996. He also helped plan a botched SBV robbery in Overport, Durban in October 1997.
Sewrajlall and his friend Detective Inspector Eshwin Ramnath are currently in a witness protection programme after agreeing to testify.
Neither of the former Chatsworth policemen have been suspended nor are they facing a disciplinary hearing.
Sewrajlall is reportedly working in Gauteng while Ramnath has been deployed to the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.
