Cape Town - A Somali couple appeared in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court on charges of credit card fraud, national police said on Wednesday.
Captain Percy Morokane said Abdul Cadir Mohamed Scech Faghi, 33, and his wife Umaymah Ahmed, 19, appeared on Tuesday following their arrest last week.
Faghi had been on a wanted list since 2006. He was arrested in the car park of a hotel in Cape Town and his wife was arrested at a house in the city.
"Investigating officers seized 119 blank international credit cards, eight blank Standard Bank cards, 20 white plastic cards, three card readers (skimming devices), encoding equipment and computer software, computer equipment used to manufacture false credit cards, an HP electronic diary, two cellular phones and a wireless webcam from the house," Morokane said.
The case was postponed to October 2 for a bail application.
