On 24 June 2021, a man alleged that armed suspects in the Welbedacht East area had deprived him of his vehicle, which was a Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The complainant who resides in Phoenix further alleged that he was on route to visit a friend when the alleged crime occurred. A case of carjacking was opened at Chatsworth SAPS. Investigators from the Serious and Violent Crimes Unit worked tirelessly to ensure that the perpetrator was arrested. Within hours of the alleged carjacking, police arrested the complainant after it was uncovered that he opened a false case.
Terrance Ganasen (46) appeared before the Chatsworth Magistrate’s Court today for defeating the ends of justice. He was granted bail and will appear again in court on 29 July 2021.
We once again urge citizens to refrain from opening false cases, as it is a serious criminal offence. We will continue to deal decisively with those who waste state resources by opening false cases.
