Three arrested for possession of counterfeit money
Three suspects have been arrested in Gezina after they were caught in possession of suspected counterfeit bank notes.
Tshwane police’s Daniel Mavimbela says the suspects, aged between 18 and 40, were arrested during a police raid on Wednesday.
"Their arrests follows a raid by the local police after they had received a tip-off from a member of the public.
"The suspects were found inside one of the units in the block of flats which is in Gezina, and the suspected counterfeit notes were recovered in a locked-up garage that is believed to be reserved by that particular unit," he says.
Police have not been able to confirm the value of the counterfeit notes.
The three suspects are expected to appear in the Pretoria Magistrates Court soon.
