Arrests made for fraud and theft in Kuils River

Kuils River police arrested a 22-year-old man linked to fraudulent activities conducted via the Checkers Sixty60 app on Wednesday 29 November.

Local police spokesperson, WO Liesel Beukes, said the complainant reported that multiple liquor orders were placed on the app over the previous week as monitored by Checkers.

The police followed up on the information and arrested the suspect for fraud.

Liquor to the value of R5 000 was confiscated from the man. He appeared in court on Friday 1 December.

“The case is still being investigated,” Beukes said.

Shoplifters

In another incident on Wednesday afternoon (29 November) WO Andries Binedell of Kuils River police followed-up on information received of a Silver Toyota Corolla possibly linked to shoplifting at Zevenwacht Mall earlier that day.

Binedell then went on to track the vehicle down and stopped it on the R300 off-ramp onto the N2.

“He searched the vehicle and found underwear from Mr Price as well as skin-care products with an estimated value of R3 800 in the vehicle,” Beukes said.

The occupants of the vehicle, a man (37) and a woman (38), were arrested for possession of property that was presumed stolen.

Beukes said the items found were later linked to Zevenwacht Mall.

Both suspects appeared in Kuils River Magistrates’ Court on Friday 1 December.

Station commander Col JT Naidoo commended Binedell for outstanding work done.
