“A subsequent search at his place of residence on Oakleigh Drive led to the recovery of fraudulent fishing permits, more fraudulent police identification cards, fraudulent refugee asylum work permits, a police date stamp, as well as 15 rounds of ammunition.”

Netshiunda adds that a computer and other equipment, believed to have been used in the production of fraudulent documents, were seized for further investigations.
