Charges of corruption and theft brought against nine police officials have been dropped.
The Cape Town Regional Court magistrate, Wilma van der Merwe, released the officials on grounds of insufficient evidence.
The officials, including a superintendent and several inspectors, are reservists and two crime intelligence investigators.
They are all attached to the West Metropole Crime Reaction Unit.
This unit is a reservist unit that rose from the remains of an allegedly renegade reservist unit, Undertakers, which was split up in 2002.
The officer’s attorney, Riaz Khan, has welcomed the magistrates’ decision.
