Sekgoto appealed to anyone whose vehicles were recently repossessed to contact their financial institutions. If they found they had been defrauded, they should contact Makgamatha on 082 304 0052 or report the matter at their local police station.

Victims of five men accused of fraud and car theft were not surprised to get a knock on the door from someone wanting to repossess their vehicles.They were caught after one of their victims smelled a rat when her car was “repossessed” even though she had made a payment arrangement with her bank, said Mpumalanga Hawks spokesperson Capt Dineo Lucy Sekgotodi.

“She approached the bank again complaining about their actions and learnt that she was a victim of crime,” said Sekgoto. On Tuesday, Delmas police received information that the suspects were allegedly selling the stolen vehicles below market value. They arrested a group of five alleged fraudsters including Billy Ndlovu, 54, Clarence Makhubela, 34, and Lawrence Munyai, 33.
