“According to the officers, a man complained that his wife paid the scammers R450 and they had promised to get her an employment. However, the three suspects’ phones were switched of and were not seen or heard of again. They went to 7th floor of a building at corner Von Wielligh Street and Nugget Street. On their arrival, they found one female suspect who tried to run away. She got arrested with two other suspectsâ€, said Minnaar.
He said police found dozens of CVs, fake application forms as well as R7 140 in cash. Minnaar mentioned that officers also seized a computer printer as well as four cell phones which will form part of investigations.

Disgraced R&B star R. Kelly’s Brooklyn trial — which will involve numerous out-of-state witnesses — has been delayed by the coronavirus.
Brooklyn Federal Judge Ann Donnelly nixed a tentative Sep. 29 date for the “I Believe I Can Fly†singer’s Brooklyn trial on Wednesday, opting instead to change the September date to a hearing. Donnelly did not give Kelly a new trial date.
Brooklyn prosecutors said Wednesday that they expected around 35 witnesses to testify at Kelly’s trial.
“The majority of them would be coming from outside of New York. Upwards of 24 witnesses would be traveling from out of state,†said Elizabeth Geddes, the assistant U.S. attorney leading the prosecution.
In ordering the delay, Donnelly noted that travel during the pandemic would be too much hardship for the out-of-state witnesses.
The trial is expected to last four to six weeks.

Kelly, 53, is accused of running a racketeering scheme and heading an enterprise that trafficked women and underage girls who came to his trail.
He also is charged with having sexual activity with three girls under the age of 18 and making child pornography.
The postponement of the Brooklyn trial came just a day after a Chicago federal judge delayed Kelly’s trial there. The Chicago case is to be tried after the Brooklyn case.
The Chicago judge also said asking out-of-state witnesses to travel and perhaps spend time in quarantine would be an undue hardship for them.
Kelly is currently being held in a Chicago federal jail awaiting his trials in Brooklyn and in Chicago, where he faces charges related to sexual abuse of underage girls, including paying off witnesses to change their stories at his 2008 child pornography trial.
