Willemans will be back in court on April 12
Willemans allegedly defrauded and stole from people nationwide after his release on parole in 2017.
Michael Jacobus Willemans, who allegedly defrauded and stole from people nationwide, is expected to be in the Boksburg Magistrate’s Court on April 12.
His court case was again postponed on March 28 for further investigation. He faces eight charges of fraud and eight charges of theft.
Willemans, originally from Brakpan, was on the run for years, but his luck ran out on January 9 when the police arrested him on 9th Road, Rynfield.
Members of the SAPS Trio Task Team, in collaboration with the anti-hijacking, Policing SA and CJ Investigators, arrested him at a flat believed to belong to his girlfriend after they received a tip-off about his whereabouts.
He allegedly defrauded and stole from people while hiding behind pseudonyms. Cases of theft and fraud were opened against him in Boksburg North, Welkom, the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and other areas.
His alleged modus operandi was to target single and elderly women on dating sites.
These criminal activities allegedly began four months after being released on parole for theft in 2017.
