Warrant of arrest issued for Limpopo holiday swindler
The police in Limpopo have issued a warrant of arrest for Francois Swart, the managing director of travel agency Priority Escapes.
The 39-year-old holiday swindler's travel agency is believed to have defrauded millions of rands from holiday companies in Modimolle.
Limpopo Police spokesperson Hlulani Mashaba says a case of fraud was opened at the Modimolle police station in August after a complainant reported that the travel agency defrauded two companies out of more than R130 000.
"The suspect allegedly received full payment from the complainants for him to fulfil holiday arrangements on their behalf.
"The misrepresentation was furthered when the suspect issued documents purporting that the holiday was arranged and paid in full.
"It has since been confirmed that the documents the complainants received are false," said Mashaba.
