1. These are “street deception” cases involving the use of “spiritual healers”. The victims, invariably women of senior age, were approached in the streets and told that ill fates awaited their loved ones. In order to avert imminent disasters, the victims were told that certain “blessing ceremonies” had to be performed, requiring them to put into paper bags large sums of cash and other valuables, only to be replaced with valueless items by the fraudsters.
