Foreign National arrested with fake police identification cards, police date stamp and drugs

Police in Berea have opened cases of impersonating a police officer, possession of drugs and fraud against a 38-year-old foreign national who was found in possession of rock cocaine and a fraudulent police identification card on Vause Road in Musgrave on Saturday, 10 February 2024.

Police were executing their crime prevention duties when they stopped and searched the man. A subsequent search at his place of residence on Okleigh Drive led to the recovery of fraudulent fishing permits, more fraudulent police identification cards, fraudulent refugee asylum work permits, a police date stamp, as well as 15 rounds of ammunition.

A computer and other equipment, believed to have been used in the production of fraudulent documents were seized for further investigations. The suspect is expected to appear in court on Monday.
