Members of the Provincial Commercial Crimes Unit in Limpopo have arrested a 26-year-old female suspect in connection with an alleged fraud case involving more than five hundred thousand rand (R500,000.00) at a milling company in the Mokopane policing area.
According to South African Police Service (SAPS), on 11 August 2025, the owner of the milling company received a phone call from a customer who queried discrepancies on a receipt, noting that the date and time on the receipt did not correspond with the purchases. Upon checking, the owner discovered that a cashier had allegedly been issuing duplicate receipts to customers, and a review of CCTV footage allegedly confirmed that one of the female cashiers was responsible for using the duplicated receipts.
Internal audit and investigation
An internal audit was subsequently conducted and revealed that stock to the value of R500,000 could not be accounted for, while the owner also collected the duplicated invoices as evidence of the alleged fraudulent activities. The matter was reported to the Provincial Commercial Crimes Unit, which opened a case of fraud and conducted intensive investigations.
Court appearance and legal proceedings
On Tuesday, 21 July 2026, the 26-year-old female suspect, Sune Grobbelaar, was apprehended in the Mokopane policing precinct on fraud charges and appeared before the Mokopane Magistrate's Court on the same day. She was remanded in custody and her case was postponed to Monday, 27 July 2026, for further police investigations and a bail application.
