Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. The Department of Immigration’s regional compliance and enforcement unit in Beitbridge has busted two men who are allegedly members of a counterfeit stamps syndicate in the border town.
Acting head of immigration at Beitbridge Border Post, Trustworthy Manatsire, confirmed the development, saying the two men were nabbed on Sunday.
Manatsire said the suspects were using two Zimbabwean and two South African immigration replica stamps to clear travellers between the two countries since the beginning of 2022. He said:
We are not relenting. Let me also warn all those involved in similar activities that their days are numbered.
As a department, we are working with other security agents at the border to put an end to this vice.
In this latest case, we received information on the existence of two men who were using fake immigration stamps at a house in one of the suburbs.
… We have confiscated the four fake stamps and handed the two suspects to the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) for further management.
The identity of the two suspects is yet to be revealed pending further investigations into the syndicate.
