Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Free State police arrested a man, 28, who was caught in possession of 97 identity documents and more than 100 bank cards.<\/p>\n

Police received information which led them to the man’s home in Zone 4, Selosesha, on Friday.<\/p>\n

“Upon searching his room, police found 42 smart card IDs, 55 Republic of South Africa-issued ID books, 105 bank cards from different RSA banking institutions, one Lesotho passport and a birth certificate in his possession,” police spokesperson Sergeant Mahlomola Kareli said.<\/p>\n

He was arrested for unlawfully being in possession of the IDs and for contravening the Immigration Act.<\/p>\n

The police are still investigating – and are requesting people, who believe any of it belongs to them, to go to the Selosesha police station.<\/p>\n

The man will appear in the Thaba Nchu Magistrate’s Court on Monday.<\/p>\n
