“In July 2016, Tlailane and an accomplice gained entry into the Hawks’ offices after they gave a security guard a drink laced with an unknown poisonous substance,” said Hawks spokesperson Nomthandazo Mnisi.

Mnisi said the pair then entered the building and forced open safes using grinders. Cash and other valuables worth R183,000 were stolen. Tlailane was arrested in December 2016 following an investigation, Mnisi said.
