On Friday, 10 September 2021 Gauteng Highway Patrol members apprehended two suspects aged 48 and 56 in Rabie Ridge on a charge of possession of counterfeit notes estimated worth over a million.
The Highway Patrol members were out on routine patrol along Modderfontein Road when they identified a suspicious looking white Toyota Hilux bakkie. The suspects noticed the police vehicle and sped off, a chase ensued. The SAPS members shortly after intercepted the suspect’s vehicle, conducted a search and found bags filled with R200 counterfeit notes.
The duo is expected to appear in the Tembisa Magistrate Court soon, while further investigation is underway.
