The incident involving a Bramley police station vehicle operating far outside its jurisdiction has raised questions about accountability and resource management in the South African Police Service (Saps).

The investigation began on 20 August, 2024, when Tebogo Khaas allegedly observed a police van from Bramley station about 40km from its jurisdiction using emergency lights while travelling toward Sunnyside/Thaba Tshwane.

Khaas posted details of his findings on social media platform X.

"I found it odd that a police van from Bramley, a significant distance away, would be operating in this area without any visible emergency or pursuit," Khaas said.
