A man was nabbed by the Elsburg SAPS, last Saturday, on a charge of shoplifting.
At about 7.45pm the complainant alleged that he was busy with customers in his shop when he noticed a man pick up some wine and then walk around the shop.
“He then saw the man leaving the store without paying for the item,” said Const Daphney Phooko, the communications officer for the Elsburg SAPS.

The 23-year-old suspect was arrested and will face a charge of shoplifting in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court.
