Fake policeman granted bail

A 28-YEAR-OLD man who duped several people of their money while posing as a police captain has been granted bail.

“He was granted R1000 bail and the case was postponed to April 30 for further police investigations,” Limpopo police spokesperson Moatshe Ngoepe said.

Under the guise of being a captain from the Limpopo SAPS human resource management, Maake would allegedly call unsuspecting people who wanted to enlist in the police force and instruct them to deposit money into various bank accounts, purportedly to cover the cost of medical reports.

Maake was arrested at Lethuli Park in Seshego outside Polokwane earlier this month by members of the Limpopo provincial investigating and crime intelligence units. |
