5 men arrested in Kempton Park for generating fake pay slips & matric certificates
Police in Ekurhuleni arrested five men, aged between 23 and 54 years, for generating fake documentation including pay slips and matric certificates.
City of Ekurhuleni spokesperson Zweli Dlamini said the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department’s community liaison unit task team in conjunction with Gauteng special law enforcement unit apprehended two Malawians, two Nigerians and a South African for allegedly generating fake documentation.
He said the documents also included police clearance certificates, driver’s licenses, matric certificates, firearm competency certificates, face-value documentation, and medical certificates.
“The authorities received a tip-off about a syndicate dealing in false documentation,” said Dlamini.
“Upon arrival at Flavour Shop at the corner of Voortrekker and Pretoria Road they found equipment including a photocopy machine, fax, and other equipment suspected to have been used in the production of the fake documentation.”
The fake documents were seized by police.
During the arrests one of the accused men allegedly attempted to bribe police with R1,000 to set them free, but his attempt failed. The suspects are detained at Kempton Park police station.
“They are expected to appear in the Kempton Park Magistrate’s Court soon on charges of fraud, uttering, and bribery,” said Dlamini.
“The EMPD commends the officers for their courage and excellent work in rooting out lawlessness, and will stop at nothing to root our crime in Ekurhuleni.”
