Woman arrested with 46 Sassa cards

Apparently, the suspect was caught making multiple transactions and taking longer than normal.


A woman was arrested at Village@Horizon yesterday, March 6, on the West Rand after she was caught with 46 ID books and 46 South African Social Service Agency (Sassa) cards, Roodepoort Record reports.

This comes after an undercover intelligence officer of Open Water Advanced Risk Solutions, a forensic investigations company, who was monitoring drug-related activity at the centre. He noticed a woman at the Absa ATM with a suspicious number of cards doing multiple transactions and taking longer than normal.
