Two male nurses, aged 40 and 45, from private hospitals in Durban were arrested and charged for fraud and theft after stealing a credit card from a businessman who was on his death bed at St Augustine's Hospital.

The men appeared in the Durban magistrate's court on Wednesday where their case was remanded to January 22 for a bail application. They will remain in custody.

Police said accused one is a repeat offender who has been arrested for other cases of theft and fraud. He is also wanted by the Bellville police in Cape Town for fraud.In a statement on Wednesday, the hospital thanked the police for their swift action. “At the end of last year, we were most concerned when it was reported to us that the credit card of a patient had been stolen, despite the extensive security measures in place within our hospital,” said Heinrich Venter, general manager of the hospital.“We always advise patients to hand in their valuables to security personnel for safekeeping, which is done in accordance with our strict chain of custody paperwork, to minimise the possibility of theft or loss in our hospital,” said Venter.
