Two people were arrested for fraud in Epping and Cape Town yesterday.
It is alleged that the suspects issued fraudulent working schedule documents to the Department of Correctional Services indicating that a parolee was employed by them.
“This allowed the parolee free movement within the Western Cape and he would then commit crimes,” says provincial spokesperson, Sergeant Noloyiso Rwexana, in a statement.
“A 41-year-old man residing in Portlands was arrested at a business premises in Epping. Simultaneously, a 40-year-old woman from Parow was arrested at a media house in Cape Town,” explains Rwexana.
The arrested suspects will appear in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court on Monday on 140 fraud charges.
