Western Cape police arrested two foreign nationals and a South African on charges of theft of motor vehicle and fraud in Vredendal, on Tuesday.
The police’s FC van Wyk
said that Vredendal SAPS became aware of a modus operandi of theft of motor
vehicles during the past six months, emanating from owners advertising their
vehicles on social media.
‘’The registered owners
of the vehicle were approach by a bogus buyer who made electronic payments and
sent fraudulent bank notifications to the seller, that prompt the release of
the vehicle with documentation. A successful integrated undercover operation
was conducted, which also led to the seizure of a white BMW. As the
investigation progresses, more arrests could be made. The suspects are due to
appear in the Vredendal Magistrates Court on Thursday.
