Primrose police recently arrested two men, aged 35 and 38, on charges of fraud and bribery.
The arrest was made at a house in Pumula Street when officers received a complaint claiming fraudulent activities were taking place at the address.
While searching the house, officers found two men, one of whom was scanning SIM cards with his laptop.
“When asked what he was doing, the man claimed he was activating and Rica-ing the SIM cards,” said communications officer for the Primrose police, Sgt Styles Maome.
It is alleged the second man then placed R4 000 into an officer’s hand, in an attempt to bribe the officers.
Both men were arrested and taken to the Primrose Police Station, along with a number of starter packs, a laptop, 46 cellphones and four twin-plugs.
The men have since appeared in the Germiston Magistrates Court, where their case was postponed for trial.
