The Hawks’ Serious Commercial Crime Investigation unit’s continued persistence and never die attitude paid off. This follows the arrest and subsequent court appearance of the alleged kingpin of the fraud syndicate who appeared along his co-accused at Muizenberg Magistrates Court yesterday.
Hawks investigation uncovered about 42 cloned bank cards used at Vangate and Promenade Malls between 24 September and 3 October 2017. Furthermore, about 37 successful illegal withdrawals were committed worth over R75 000. A total of 80 transactions were balance enquiries while 40 were unsuccessful illegal withdrawals.
