Police spokesperson Brigadier Vishnu Naidoo said that the bus the tourists were travelling in was ambushed by men dressed in police uniform.
“The bus travelling with the tourists was stopped by a man dressed in police uniform. A group of other suspects dressed in (civilian clothing) robbed them (tourists) of their belongings.”
A source told The Star that the tourists were beaten up during the robbery, but Naidoo said that no injuries were reported.
Naidoo said that it has become concerning that criminals are now using SAPS uniforms while committing crimes.
He went on to say that the incident has been ” assigned to a group of seasoned detectives from our National Investigation Unit”.
