Afzal Ambramjee and Mozambican national Manuel Sarafim Pinto were granted bail.
The Pretoria Magistrate’s Court has granted bail to two suspects after they allegedly fitted blue lights to a private vehicle.
Afzal Abramjee, 40, from Centurion, and Manuel Sarafim Pinto, 49, a Mozambican national residing in Robertsham in Johannesburg, face a charge of operating a motor vehicle fitted with, or displaying, lamps emitting blue lights in contravention of the law.
According to evidence presented before the court, on June 4, 2026, during a police roadblock operation in Wierdabrug, police stopped a vehicle that was driven by Abramjee’s wife. Officers discovered the vehicle had been fitted with blue lights. When questioned, the woman informed police that the vehicle belonged to her husband.
Abramjee was contacted by police and requested to come to the scene. Upon his arrival, both he and his wife were taken to the Wierdabrug Police Station for further questioning. The vehicle was seized, and the pair were later released pending further investigations.
