Two men have been arrested for allegedly manufacturing counterfeit US dollar and rand currency from a house in Pretoria.
Jude Yaya Oka and Evans Akor Tiku were arrested on Tuesday by the Pretoria-based Hawks’ Serious Organised Crime Investigation team in collaboration with the SAPS K9 unit as well as the South African Reserve Bank representatives operationalised information received from Counter & Security Intelligence, Crime Intelligence.
“The team descended at the premises in Silver Lakes, Pretoria. A self-storage unit was subjected to a search. This was after the two suspects were interviewed. Inside the storage were black plastic bags that the accused were busy loading into a nearby parked motor vehicle,” said Hawks Capt Lloyd Ramovha.
