Media Statement WESTERN CAPE – The Bellville based Serious Commercial Crime Investigation team of Hawks have on 09 May 2024 arrested two suspects, aged 24 and 46, respectively on charges of fraud. Their arrest emanates from an incident in February 2024 when Dylan Conroy Kannemeyer, who is also an accused in this matter, allegedly submitted false documentation to Halfway Ford in Goodwood for vehicle finance on a Ford Ranger to the value of R679 895-00. The Hawks’ meticulous investigation revealed that Kannemeyer allegedly worked with other accomplices in producing fraudulent documents. He was subsequently arrested and a search for his accomplices ensued. Furthermore, Hawks team also uncovered three more fraudulent vehicle finance applications that were processed by him and other accomplices who are persons of interest to the investigation and this resulted in an estimated financial loss of R1, 5 million. Kannemeyer (28) is currently out on bail and is expected back at the Goodwood Magistrates Court on 15 May 2024. The two other suspects are due to appear at the Goodwood Magistrates Court on 10 May 2024. Ends
