Man who can help police in their investigation

 

Police in KwaZulu Natal are looking for a man believed could help the police in two fraud cases which occurred in Pietermaritzburg last year. 

The fraud case has to do with the usage of false ID documents at several furniture shops. 

Police Spokesperson Colonel Jay Naicker said it is alleged during October and December 2013 people approached several furniture shops in the City Centre with falsified ID documents which they used to purchase furniture and electrical equipment to the value of approximately R51 000.

“A short while later the victims were contacted by the shops demanding payment on their accounts. After further investigation it was established that the ID photos and date of issue of the duplicate ID’s did not match the victims’ records,” Naicker added.
