Johannesburg – A King William’s Town woman was being sought on Tuesday for allegedly stealing her father’s pension money, said Eastern Cape police.

Information about a pension deposit into his account was apparently sent to the woman’s cellphone, said Lieutenant Siphokazi Mawisa.

When she received the message, she transferred the money to her account without her father’s consent. The money was withdrawn at different ATMs, Mawisa said.

“It came to the attention of the detectives that she is at Tembisa, in Johannesburg, and they went there without any success.”

Mawisa said a case of fraud had been opened.
