# Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department official, Adrian McKenzie, and security boss, Etienne van der Walt, have been charged with six counts of fraud and robbery in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court, linked to the 2023 theft of precious stones valued at about 14.9-million-rand. The case stems from allegations at the Madlanga Commission of a rogue police operation in Rosebank led by suspended EMPD deputy chief Julius Mkhwanazi. The gems were allegedly sold for 110-thousand-rand. The matter returns to court on 16 July for a bail application.
