The colour of the vehicle reflected on the system as red while the vehicle was blue and the VIN number of the vehicle doesn’t correspond with the VIN number on the licence disc.
A 34-year-old woman was arrested for fraud by EMPD ORTIA Precinct officers at OR Tambo International Airport on February 4.
While conducting crime prevention patrols on the airport’s upper level, officers stopped a blue Volkswagen Polo and requested the driver’s licence, which she produced.
However, on inspecting the vehicle, officers conducted a systematic check to verify the VIN. It was discovered that the details did not match the vehicle in question.
