Thirty-year-old Ruvanya Ramiah and 31-year-old Ayush Rambally were arrested in Estcourt nearly a month ago after evading police for some time.


They made another appearance in the Durban Specialised Commercial Crimes Court on Tuesday.


KZN National Prosecution Authority spokesperson Natasha Kara says the pair face charges of fraud, theft and money laundering.
