The theft took place at the Caledon Square station in the city centre on Tuesday, police head of 2010 operations in the Western Cape, Major-General Robbie Roberts, said."The tourist was in the CSC (community service centre) in Cape Town police station and he left his bag unattended. "He went up to the third floor and when he returned, he found that his bag was gone."Police had used closed-circuit television cameras to identify the suspect, a woman, who was arrested."Via our integrated approach... by the National Prosecuting Authority, the magistrates and the police investigation unit, we managed to take the case to court."The case was finalised on Wednesday and the woman was fined R5 000 or 12 months, suspended for five years."Roberts said he did not know what was in the bag, or why the Japanese tourist had been at the police station.Two other people had appeared in the special court after being arrested this week. One was accused of stealing four laptops from the Waterfront flat of a tourist and the other had been charged with stealing a wallet from a tourist at a city hotel.Both cases were still being investigated and both had been released on bail.In both cases the suspects were identified by closed-circuit television, he said.The 2010 courts have been set up at the Cape Town Magistrate's and Regional Courts.
