An Alex youth, Mangaliso Mongoro (20) was sentenced to three years in prison by Alexandra Magistrates’ Court for housebreaking and theft at a Sandton residence in March.
Private security guards patrolling the area spotted Mongoro in a yard and alerted the homeowner of a suspicious person at his place.
When the homeowner declined knowledge of the suspect, the guards entered the residence and arrested him. Mongoro broke into the house through a window and stashed household items outside.
