Trio with 30 SASSA cards in their possession nabbed at Emperors

A security officer saw the suspects at an Emperors Palace ATM withdrawing cash using different cards

TWO women and a man had been arrested after they were found in possession of 30 South Africa Social Security Agency (SASSA) cards and a large amount of cash.

Kempton SAPS spokesman, Capt Jethro Mtshali, confirmed that on November 28 members of Benoni Flying Squad were summoned to Emperors Palace, where the suspects were caught.

“An alert security guard working at the entertainment venue noticed two women and a man withdrawing cash at an ATM, using different debit cards,” Mtshali explained.

On arrival, the flying squad searched the trio and found the SASSA cards and cash.

“The suspects, aged 31, 32 and 36, could not provide the officers with a satisfactory explanation as to how the debit cards, belonging to different account holders, came into their possession.”
