Two arrested in Home Affairs fraud bust

Both suspects will appear in the Umlazi Magistrate’s Court soon.

Two people have been arrested for fraud and possession of suspected stolen property after an operation at the offices of the Department of Home Affairs in KwaZulu-Natal. A 38-year-old woman was arrested at Home Affairs after she attempted to apply for two birth certificates with fraudulent proof of birth cards from a hospital. She has been detained at the Umlazi police station.

Following further investigation, police arrested the 53-year-old suspect in Folweni and seized 39 birth certificates, 37 identity document copies, a hospital stamp, two school stamps, an education department circuit stamp, two identity documents and proof of birth cards during the operation.

“These fraudulent activities are robbing government of a lot of money and depriving underprivileged community members of their social grants,” he said.
