On 10 July 2021, the suspect Jermaine Tyson Sethialall advertised a bakkie that he was selling on social media. An interested person contacted him and transferred R179 000-00 into the account that was given to him.
After the sale, the two men went their separate ways and a few days after the transaction the new owner proceeded to transfer the vehicle into his name. He was informed that the logbook is fake and the vehicle belonged to a lady that was struggling to pay her installments. The bank was planning to repossess the vehicle. A case of fraud was opened at Bellair SAPS and the investigation revealed that the suspect is wanted for similar cases in Durban, Verulam, and Port Shepstone.
A warrant of arrest has been issued for Jermaine Tyson Sathialall (28). His current whereabouts are unknown.
