A 30-year-old man has been sentenced to seven years for house break-in and theft.
Last year September, Donavan Venter broke into a 70-year-old victim’s house in Boksburg North.
Through the diligent and thorough investigation of Det Const Milicent Chavalala, the suspect was arrested on September 18.
According to Boksburg North communications officer, Const Justice Ramaube, during the break-in, it was discovered that the suspect broke the back window and went on to damage the victim’s safe and took a revolver and a TV set.
