POLICE at Keetmanshoop on Saturday arrested two Windhoek residents for allegedly using a stolen credit card to purchase stationery worth N$11 000 at a local bookshop.
Police Commissioner Josephat Abel said a tip-off from the public led to the arrest.
He said the Police recovered the fraudulently purchased consignment, which the suspects were allegedly planning to send to Windhoek by courier.
The suspects, Generation Basson (31) and Kenneth Mbango Mukwenda (38), appeared in the Keetmanshoop Magistrate’s Court yesterday.
Their case was postponed until May 10 for further Police investigation and to allow them to obtain legal representation. No bail was granted and the two remain in custody.
According to Abel, the two allegedly had defrauded the local Waltons Stationery branch a month ago when they bought stationery worth more than N$14 000.
In other news from the South, Piet Pieters (38) died when the car in which he was travelling overturned on the gravel road between Koës and the Mata-Mata border post.
Commissioner Abel said five other passengers and the driver were treated for minor injuries at the Koës clinic.
