“They questioned a Ugandan man carrying a black briefcase. The sum of R600 in counterfeit notes was seized from the man. Kasitt Muhammed (39) was arrested,” said Capt Mfeka.
He appeared in the Ramsgate Magistrate’s Court last Thursday and the case was postponed to this Friday, June 13. He was denied bail.
On Saturday, June 7, Margate police arrested Joelene Bam (30), Marianne Bezuidenhout (52) and Daniël Bester (41) for being in possession of drugs.

They appeared in the Ramsgate Magistrate’s Court on Monday this week and the case was postponed to June 17. All three remain in custody.
