Cape Town - A Bonteheuwel family is in shock after police stormed their residence without a search warrant, and allegedly destroyed and ransacked their property, while looking for illegal merchandise and activities.
Seven months’ pregnant Shaneley Barends said she was with her cousin’s children on Friday, after 7pm, when police barged into their property, continuously pepper sprayed their dog, and eventually opened fire and killed it.
“The police were next door for a couple of minutes and they could not go in there, and they came to us. Upon asking them what they were looking for, they said we should not interfere with their job and that they had a search warrant.
