KwaZulu-Natal: A joint operation by members of the KZN Tracking Team, War Room and Crime Intelligence resulted in an arrest of a 33-year-old man for fraud.
The suspect was arrested in the early hours of today at Gobandlovu area, Esikhaleni, after the team acted on an intelligence driven information about the man in possession of various cards and skimming devises. The suspect was found in possession of laptops, digital cameras, cloning devises, different bank cards, clothing cards, SASSA cards and other cards. He will be profiled to see if he can be linked to any other fraud cases reported in the Uthungulu Cluster and surrounding areas. He is expected to make his first appearance in the Commercial Crime Court on Monday, 31 October 2016, for a charge of fraud.
The KwaZulu-Natal Acting Provincial Commissioner, Major General Bheki Langa praised the team for arresting the fraudster. ”The members of public are warned to be vigilant at ATM’s and not accept help from strangers since it exposes them to fraudsters. They must look out for any devices that may be attached to the ATM as these could be used to clone their cards,” he said.
