Tzaneen - A former crime intelligence officer and a woman will spend the weekend in jail after the Tzaneen Magistrate's Court postponed their case, Limpopo police said on Friday.
“The court remanded the case until Monday to continue with bail application,” spokeswoman Colonel Ronel Otto said.
The pair, Jack Mathiba, 40, and Doreen Thamaga, 28, allegedly attempted to steal more than R1.2 million from a businesswoman's bank account.
They were arrested after they, along with an unknown man, approached a Nedbank manager with the aim of transferring money into other accounts.
The female accomplice was said to be in possession of the account-holder's fake identity document, claiming that she had signing powers.
The manager contacted the account-holder who informed him that it was a fraudulent transaction.
