Suspects Turn into Cats And Escape Police Custody, Police Questioned
If you thought Thabo Bester’s prison escape was one for the record books, here’s another shocker! Gauteng police are probing probably the strangest case in a while, after suspects allegedly turned into cats and simply slinked out the cell.
According to a police report, two suspects were among 11 others arrested for being in possession of stolen property on July 16.
The report further states that another suspect alleged that Ali and Mustafa made strange owl-like noises, turned into cats and walked out of the holding cells.
The official who wrote up the police report claimed that when he and another officer went to the cells to count the suspects, the same man who claimed the two men turned into cats, told them the same story.
A docket of escaping from lawful custody was also opened.
Gauteng police confirmed that the matter is under investigation.
Colonel Noxolo Kweza added that police officers who were on duty at the time, are also being investigated.
Anyone with information that can assist police with the investigation is urged to contact their local police or the police toll free number 08600 10111.
