A Ugandan man - with an expired visa - has been arrested in Umhlanga for allegedly running a brothel and a “black dollar” scam.
About R1.6m in counterfeit money was also seized.
The intelligence-led operation, conducted by the Durban Metro Police Tactical Support Unit, SAPS KZN Counter Narcotics and DPCI Port Shepstone, took place at the man’s upmarket apartment.
Initially, information was received by police flagging the man’s movements and activities at the property.
A search warrant was applied for, and subsequently granted, paving the way for today’s raid.
The “black dollar” scam is a type of advance -fee fraud, where a victim is offered a large sum of money for a small upfront payment - but it never materialises.
The 35-year-old suspect is in custody and is expected to appear in court on Monday.
