MODIMOLLE POLICE ARE HARD ON THE HEELS OF ALLEGED HOLIDAY SWINDLER FRANCOIS SWART
POLOKWANE The police in Limpopo are seeking information about the whereabouts of alleged holiday swindler Francois Swart, (39), whose Fourways-based travel agency Priority Escapes stands accused of defrauding holiday companies in Modimolle of thousands of rands.
The police have since issued an arrest warrant for Francois Swart, the managing Director of travel agency Priority Escapes. Swart is alleged to have defrauded many would-be holidaymakers of hundreds of thousands of rand.
According to the information available at this stage, a case of fraud was opened at the Modimolle Police Station in August. The complainant alleged two companies were defrauded of more than R130,000 by the Priority Escapes.
The suspect allegedly received full payment from the complainants for him to fulfil holiday arrangements on their behalf. The misrepresentation was furthered when the suspect issued documents purporting that the holiday was arranged and paid in full. It has since been confirmed that the documents the complainants received are false.
Police appeal to any person with knowledge of Swart’s whereabouts (pictured below ) to provide the details to the police by contacting the Investigating Officer Warrant Officer Gawie Greef on 082 565 7800 or Crime Stop number 08600 10111 or the nearest Police Station or use MySAPS app.
Police investigations continue.
