A 30-YEAR-OLD man is set to appear at Upington Magistrate’s Court 1 April 2022 for fraud. The Hawks’ Serious Commercial Crime Investigation unit in Northern Cape, Capt Tebogo Thebe said the suspect’s arrest emanates after information received from First National Bank (FNB) that one of its clients from Kwa Zulu Natal, complained that an amount of R20 000 was withdrawn from his account without his permission.

“Upington Serious Commercial Crime Investigation unit took over the investigation and established that the suspect allegedly booked himself in at Upington casino hotel, where he spent approximately R80 000 on accommodation, food and drinks using details of three different bank accounts.
“The search and seizure were conducted at the hotel room of the suspect and two cell phones, bank statements and proof of payments slips were seized. The team believes that the said documents will aid the investigation going forward,” Thebe said.
