Police in Nyamirambo is holding a man identified as Emmanuel Muhayimana for conning about 10 people of Rwf350, 000.
He was arrested on September 10 in an operation conducted by police in Abaturushwa.
Muhayimana 31, is a resident of Abaturushwa village, Rwezamenyo cell in Nyarugenge District, who is said to have been conning people of their money on promises of getting them driving licences.
At the time of his arrest, he was also found with ten provisional licences, a fake traffic police stamp and eight Rwanda Revenue Authority receipts.
Muhayimana was allegedly charging Rwf10, 000 per head as registration fees to get a driving license, paid on spot.
He would later tell them to pay Rwf50, 000 to acquire a licence.
The suspect, who said he started the illegal business in February last year, confessed to the crime, but begged to be pardoned.
Rwanda National Police Spokesperson, Supt Theos Badege, urged the public to always seek driving licence services through legal channels from Traffic Police and driving schools.
Supt Badege said measures have been adopted to apprehend such fraudsters whom he said “tarnish the image of Police.”
