“As it was 3am in the morning the police were very suspicious.
“When the men saw the police vehicle approaching them they dropped the items and started running,” explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.
Officers gave chase and managed to apprehend the men.
“When the suspects were questioned on the origins of the items they confessed that they had stolen them from a nearby house,” said Maome.

They have since appeared in Germiston Magistrate’s Court, where their case was postponed for plea and trial.
