Seven suspects were arrested at Fochville licensing department on the West Rand on Monday on allegations of fraud relating to the issuing of driving licences.
The suspects — who include examiners, a driving school operator and applicants — were caught by the Road Traffic Management Corporation's (RTMC) national traffic anti-corruption unit.
“One suspect had apparently travelled from Cape Town to obtain a driving licence allegedly without going through proper processes,” the RTMC said.
The suspects were detained at Fochville police station and more arrests are expected as investigations continue.
