Jobs scam suspects arrested

Eight suspects who were arrested last Friday in connection with the Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) jobs scam will be tried in the Magistrate’s court.
It is alleged that the suspects paid close to R50 000 in exchange for jobs to a certain individual and his accomplice who were also arrested on Friday. The suspects reported for duty at the JMPD offices in Martindale and produced fraudulent JMPD officers’ appointment certificates and fraudulent medical certificates. CoJ Group Forensic and Investigation Service was called to interview the suspects. They then confirmed that the certificates were obtained illegally and they were arrested on the spot.
