An alleged report of a false case of fraud to the
One thousand rand
was given to the suspect by his father to be transferred to the suspect’s
mother, through a money market at Shoprite.
It is believed
the suspect involved his neighbour, who is unsuspected.
Warrant Officer
Daniel Mavimbela said the suspect deposited the money as instructed by the
father but he apparently had arranged with an unsuspecting neighbour to
withdraw the money on his behalf.
Mavimbela said it
is believed that by the time he forwarded the money market pin code to his
mother the cash had already been withdrawn by the neighbour as arranged.
“After a false
case of fraud was reported to the police the suspect also thanked the neighbour
with a R100. At this stage we have no information to show that the neighbour
was the accomplice in this matter” Mavimbela added.
The suspect will
be charged with perjury and will appear in the Randburg Magistrates Court soon.
