The JMPD is investigating whether an officer arrested on Thursday for possessing an unlicensed firearm is part of their unit.

The officer was arrested after he and two accomplices allegedly held up a woman walking in Florida.

He was charged with possession of an unlicensed firearm and robbery.

The gun was reported stolen in a house robbery in Rustenburg.

The metro police’s Edna Mamonyane said often officers who were fired still posed as cops.

"It is important that we clarify and check if he’s one of us."
