MPUMALANGA - Annica Van Staden (46) is sought by the Hawks' Serious Commercial Crime Investigation team in Mpumalanga for alleged fraud.
It is alleged that between October 2014 and July 2015, the suspect had a registered business called Housing First Property in
Mpumalanga.
Her modus operandi was to sell Reconstruction and Development Programme( RDP) houses, repossessed houses as well as private property in the vicinity of Middelburg, Witbank, Secunda and Kriel.
It was established that the houses she sold were not for sale.
It is further alleged that the buyer had to pay the deposit on a house or the selling price into her business, Housing First Property trust account.
She defrauded the buyers by not transferring the properties to their names and had to pay for home loans of the properties they never acquired.
Van Staden allegedly transferred money to other agents she employed, although none of them including herself were registered with the Estate Agency Affairs Board.
Cases of fraud were registered in Middelburg, the
suspect is no longer residing in Middelburg and her whereabouts are unknown.
She was arrested in Protea Glen, Soweto in August 2019 for fraud and the case was postponed to 11 November 2020 after she was released on bail.
She never returned to court and the warrant for her arrest was issued by the court.
There is another outstanding case of fraud against her in Orange Farm, Nelspruit.
Anyone who knows her whereabouts is urged to contact the Hawks' investigating team, Lieutenant Colonel Hanlie Coetser on 082 303 9881 or Constable Masangane on 068 466 9873 and Sergeant Mosete on 072 329 9315.
