A 33-year-old man was arrested on Friday on suspicion of card cloning fraud.
In a joint operation by members of the KZN Tracking Team, War Room and Crime Intelligence, the suspect was arrested in the early hours in the Gobandlovu area, eSikhaleni.
The team was acting on intelligence driven information about the man in possession of various cards and skimming devices.
The suspect was found in possession of laptops, digital cameras, cloning devices, different bank-, clothing-, SASSA- and other cards.
He will be profiled to see if he can be linked to other fraud cases reported in the uThungulu Cluster and surrounding areas.
KZN Acting Provincial Commissioner, Major General Bheki Langa praised the team on the arrest.
‘The members of public are warned to be vigilant at ATM’s and not accept help from strangers since it exposes them to fraudsters.
‘They must look out for any devices that may be attached to the ATM as these could be used to clone their cards,’ he said.
