Several Law Enforcement Agencies and Detectives from three provinces in South Africa have made contact with Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) this morning.
The Officers were seeking further details and information on a female arrested in an operation between Reaction Officers, Detectives (SAPS Verulam) and Wesbank Forensic Division yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon.
The female was sought nationally for Fraud, Uttering and Theft of Motor Vehicle. Her Modus Operandi was to provide fictitious information and fraudulent documents to financial institutions. She would use names of females in employ of blue chip companies and buy vehicles without thier knowledge.
The victims were only made aware when they receive summons via the Sheriff of the Court for non payment and repossession of the vehicles. Information was also received that the woman would pitched up at car washes and claim high value vehicles as her own.
She would retrieve the keys and drive off in these luxury vehicles. The tracking devices would be removed before the vehicle would be reported as sought after.
The woman is currently in custody at the holding cells at SAPS Verulam in Kwazulu Natal.
