Two suspects arrested in Lonehill

The residents’ association said Fidelity Security Services responded to the alarm and saw the two suspects fleeing the scene. They said the security officers apprehended the two men.

They said Sandton police were called and the two suspects were arrested.

Sandton police spokesperson Captain Kym Cloete said she was aware of the incident and that Fidelity officers apprehended the suspects but she was awaiting the docket before issuing more information.
