NORTHERN CAPE – The SAPS welcomes the sentence that was handed down to a Kimberley man for fraud and defeating the ends of justice, recently.
During October 2013 the accused, Mr Floyd Teu borrowed a white BMW X6 (valued at R1,3 million) from his business partner, to attend a meeting in Johannesburg. It was found that the accused made a false case of hijacking at Bramley SAPS. Further investigation revealed that Teu actually sold the vehicle in Tanzania.
The SAPS recovered the vehicle in Dar es Salaam during 2018 and repatriated it from Tanzania back to South Africa.
On 23 March 2021, Mr Teu was sentenced in the Kimberley Regional Court to 7 years for Fraud and 7 years for defeating the ends of justice. The sentences will run concurrently.
The SAPS Provincial Head for Organized Crime Detectives, Brigadier Dick De Waal commended D/Sgt Andile Africa for his meticulous investigation that led to this superb sentencing.
