Information received from the community is valued as they are regarded as the “eyes and ears” of law enforcers. In the early hours of 30 October 2018, when members of the Maluti K9 Unit received information of a possible syndicate who were dealing in counterfeit money, they immediately mobilised the Mount Ayliff highway patrol members and the team proceeded to the Phaphane locality.
A suspect who was wanted on a charge of fraud by the Ntabankulu SAPS was arrested. A second suspect found in possession of the 18 fake R200 notes was also arrested and faces a charge of possession of counterfeit money. It is believed that the amount of counterfeit money is approximately “R4000”.
The affected community are urged to contact their local SAPS or the Crime Stop number on 0860010111.
Both suspects will appear in the local court during the week.
