Potchefstroom- K9 Unit arrested two Somalians today at about 10:30 for allegedly manufacturing airtime vouchers without a permit.

It is alleged that the two suspects, both aged 28 years were manufacturing and printing Vodacom, MTN, Cell C and Telkom vouchers in a backroom of their supermarket.

The supermarket is situated in Walter Sizulu Street, Potchefstroom.

“Police received a tip off from community members about airtime vouchers that were sold in the supermarket without a permit” Captain Ngubane said.

Police went to investigate and discovered the vouchers and unknown amount of money as it was still being counted before going to press.

Computer equipment and a printer were seized by Police.
