Three men were arrested after one tried to sell a fake driver's licence to a plainclothes policeman outside the Johannesburg metro police department (JMPD) offices on Wednesday.

Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar said the man was arrested outside the offices in Loveday street. He took JMPD officers to a flat in Braamfontein where two other men were also arrested and a computer and other equipment used to manufacture the fake licences were seized.

The men, who allegedly sold the licences for R600 each, are expected to appear in the Johannesburg magistrate's court soon.

Minnaar said the licences were of no value because they were not registered on the national database. - Sapa
