E-hailing driver busted for allegedly stealing R650,000 from rider

The South African Police Service (SAPS) has announced the arrest of a 30-year-old Zimbabwean e-hailing driver in Simons Town for allegedly defrauding a customer of R650,000.

His arrest came after a 21-year-old Danish man and two friends ordered a ride from Cape Town to Simons Town.

So sick of these types. Only solution to crime would be executions as it's getting out of control.

Bring back public hanging.

The riders dozed off during the journey, and the driver allegedly gained access to a credit card and sent the information to a relative in Europe, where several purchases at luxury boutique shops were made using the card.

“The complainant became aware of the purchases during the early hours this morning when he received notifications on his phone,” the SAPS said in a statement.

The driver was nabbed when Sergeant Henry Simons booked an e-hailing ride with him the day following the incident.

It's also about 30,000 Euros.

Perhaps he should be reported to the Taxi police from the other thread.

So BOLT has ZERO control, ZERO screening and ZERO clue about how to run a business, the message I got was do not use BOLT under any circumstances.
