Police members attached to Commercial Branch arrested three people for Fraud and for contravention of the Electronically Communication and Transaction Act in Milnerton.
Inspector November Filander says the operation was conducted as part of a routine investigation at a restaurant and a Shopping centre in Milnerton, which resulted in a major blow to card crime syndicates operating in the Western Cape.
“Police joined by forensic investigators from two banks, went to the premises after it was reported that problems were experienced at the restaurant.”
The investigation led to the arrest of two waitresses aged 32 and 33 for using client’s card details to perform fraudulent transactions, says Filander.
“At the time of their arrest, the two females had electronic funds transfer slips in their possession.”
They led police to an apartment in Parklands in Table View where a 40 year old male was arrested, he said.
“In his possession police found a card cloning device, white plastic, numerous cloned credit cards and more slips.”
The three suspects appeared today in the Cape Town Magistrate court on charges of fraud and Electronically Communication and Transaction Act and will remained in police custody till their next court appearance.
