Speculation won't help Interpol investigation─── 12:18 Wed, 30 Jul 2014
Pretoria - Police say speculating about what might or might not have been contained on laptops stolen from Interpol's Pretoria offices at the weekend will not assist the investigation.
According to a Timeslive report, thieves made off with five laptops containing potentially sensitive information about witnesses. One of the computers stolen allegedly belonged to an officer involved in the extradition of George Louka from Cyprus to South Africa.
The report also stated fears have been raised that the theft of the data could also compromise high-profile investigations relating to the extradition of international criminal suspects, including Nigerian drug syndicates and
organised Russian, Ukrainian and Chinese gangs.Police spokesperson Solomon Makgale confirmed the theft but cannot provide further information at present.
