Cape Town – A 38-year-old foreign national has been arrested in KwaZulu-Natal for impersonating a police officer, along with charges of possession of drugs and fraud.
The arrest took place in Musgrave on Vause Road, where the man was found with rock cocaine and a fraudulent police identification card.
Police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda said that officers were conducting crime prevention duties in the vicinity when they stopped and conducted a search on the suspect.
“A subsequent search at his place of residence on Okleigh Drive led to the recovery of fraudulent fishing permits, more fraudulent police identification cards, fraudulent refugee asylum work permits, a police date stamp, as well as 15 rounds of ammunition.
“A computer and other equipment, believed to have been used in the production of fraudulent documents were seized for further investigations,” said Netshiunda.
The suspect is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
