Suspended SAPS Organised Crime Unit Sergeant Fannie Nkosi, will remain behind bars after the Pretoria North Magistrate’s Court denied him bail on Wednesday.
Nkosi faces charges of theft, defeating the ends of justice, and possession of unlicensed ammunition and a stun grenade.
He is also charged under firearm laws after seven guns were found at his home.

Police told the court that a raid earlier this month uncovered six original police dockets containing evidence, 98 rounds of state-owned live ammunition, a stun grenade, and R52,700 in cash.
The arrest was carried out on April 2 by a task team investigating evidence linked to the Madlanga Commission.
The State opposed bail, arguing that Nkosi’s access to sensitive police material and the seriousness of the charges justified his continued detention.
