3 Suspects arrested for fraud allegedly committed in Walmer
06 April 2017 | From Arrive Alive
Eastern Cape: Port Elizabeth #FlyingSquad arrested three suspects aged between 20 and 30 years on charges of fraud allegedly committed in Walmer.
It is alleged that on 2017-04-05 at approximately 14:15 the complainant, a 39-year-old woman, was at an ATM in Main Road, Walmer to withdraw money when she was distracted by three unknown suspects. In this time, the scammers managed to steal her card and money was withdrawn from her account at three different ATM’s in the Walmer area.
Members of the Flying Squad received information regarding the whereabouts of the suspects and followed up on the information which led them to the speedy arrest of three suspects in the vicinity of Kwazakele. The members confiscated the VW Polo the suspects were driving and their cell phones were seized.
The swift arrests of these suspects are commended by the Mount Road Cluster Commander Maj Gen Funeka Siganga. Card skimming at ATM’s is a big concern and the arrest is a breakthrough. The investigator will also follow up and investigate if they could be linked to other cases in the Port Elizabeth area.
The suspects are currently in custody and will appear in the Port Elizabeth Magistrates’ court on charges of fraud on Friday, 27 April 2017.
Be alert and conscious of your surroundings when using the ATM. Follow this link for #ATMSafety tips:
