The sharp-eyed resident spotted the suspicious pair walking down the street, carrying a coffee table, on October 16.
She then reported them to security guards and the police.
Security guards reacted, and it was later discovered that the pair had forced their way into a nearby property and stolen the coffee table.
The police arrived and arrested the men for housebreaking and theft.
* Meanwhile, the Boksburg SAPS’s W/O Siza Dlamini and a colleague managed to arrest four suspected housebreakers on October 16, following a tip-off.
The off-duty officer was at home when he received a call from a community member, who told him that there were four suspicious men roaming around the field near Checkers Hyper, on Rondebult Road.
Acting on that information, Dlamini drove to the area in question and found the men matching the description provided by the concerned citizen.
He immediately called for backup and, when his colleagues arrived, they closed in on the suspects, who were found to be in possession of suspected stolen goods and housebreaking equipment.
The suspects were detained and had their suspected stolen goods confiscated.
* In another story, the police arrested three suspected robbers, described as white men, who threatened a security guard with a firearm, knives and knobkerries, at Prince George Park, on October 16.
According to the police report, the trio stormed the property and one of them the firearm at the guard, while his associates brandished knives and knobkerries.
The guard managed to call the nearby metro police office for backup.
EMPD members responded and managed to apprehend two of the suspects on the scene.
The gunman managed to escape, but decided to hand himself over after one of his accomplices phoned to inform him that they had been arrested.
Police are urging members of the public to continue to report any suspicious persons or activity to them.- @FanieFLK
