The Primrose police recently arrested a 22-year-old man on a charge of house break-in and theft.
The alleged incident took place in the Makause informal settlement and was reported to police by the home’s owner.
“The complainant alleged that he left his shack at dusk to go to work, as he was working night shift,” explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.
