Hlathikhulu, Eswatini – The Royal Eswatini Police Service (REPS) arrested four men this morning in connection with a 2022 theft by false pretense case. The suspects, aged 43, 41, 53, and 40, come from Ticantfwini, Sihlutse, Thunzini, and Mangcongco.
Police say the men lured a 62-year-old pensioner from Dlovunga into handing over E260,000 with the promise that her money would be multiplied to E3 million using special chemicals. They were arrested at Nkwene during a routine roadblock and found with items used in the scam, including plain papers layered with real money to deceive victims.
