Tourist robbed in cop shop

The Mother City's special World Cup Magistrate's Court dealt with its first three cases this week, including a theft from a Japanese tourist in a police station, police said on Thursday.

The theft took place at the Caledon Square station in the city centre on Tuesday, police head of 2010 operations in the Western Cape, Major-General Robbie Roberts, said.

"The tourist was in the CSC (community service centre) in Cape Town police station and he left his bag unattended.

"He went up to the third floor and when he returned, he found that his bag was gone."

Police had used closed-circuit television cameras to identify the suspect, a woman, who was arrested.
