JOHANNESBURG - A 49-year-old man has been arrested in the Bedfordview area on charges of possession of a stolen motorcycle, fraud, and contravention of the Immigration Act.
Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) officers were patrolling on Friday when they intercepted a suspicious vehicle on Dean and Van Buuren Road.
The motorcycle did not have brake lights, the driver had a fraudulent license disc and could also not produce a valid passport upon request, leading to his arrest.
EMPD spokesperson Ignatius Maphike said the suspect did not have a valid driver’s license.
“The suspect who failed to provide officers with satisfactory answers for the ordeal was immediately placed under arrest while Immigration Services were summoned for further investigation.”
