EMPD officers recently arrested two men for various offences, in Delville.
Officers from the EMPD Germiston Crime Prevention Unit noticed a suspicious-looking VW Polo, with two male occupants, at the intersection of Liege and Namoor roads, in Delville, at 9.30am on January 13.
When the metro police approached the vehicle, the occupants were seemingly fiddling with something under the seats.
A thorough search of the car yielded six identity documents, 12 credit cards and numerous ID and passport photographs hidden under the carpet.
Five of the identity books did not have photographs on them.
A verification process by the EMPD officers at the Department of Home Affairs revealed that five of the identity documents belonged to deceased people and the sixth one did not exist on the Home Affairs database.
The men, aged 25 and 35, are Zimbabweans, who have been in South Africa for three years.
They were charged with fraud, ID theft and possession of fraudulent official documents, at the Germiston Police Station.
