Northern Cape Hawks hunting for two pharmacy fraudsters
The Hawks in
Northern Cape say they are following strong leads in tracking down two suspects
from KZN and Gauteng wanted for fraud.
The duo - Lindelani Mbatha of Kwa-Madondo and Ellen Baloyi of Meadowlands - are wanted for allegedly hacking a pharmacy's bank account and transferring themselves R6 million.
Hawks provincial spokesperson Tebogo Thebe says they're urging the public to help them identify their whereabouts.

"The incident took place in November 2019 when none of them was working there, it seems that they used electronic devices to defraud the pharmacy for R6 million. The money was then transferred into a Luno account which was registered in the suspects' name."
