“The complainant, the suspect’s ex-girlfriend, told police that she went to his house to collect her clothes,” explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.
“When she arrived he allegedly told her to wait outside while he went to collect her belongings.
“After waiting a long time she decided to leave and go home.”
When she arrived home she discovered her shack had been broken into.

“She claimed her cellphone, several pairs of shoes and clothing were missing from the shack,” said Maome.
“When she asked her aunt what had happened she was allegedly told that her ex-boyfriend had come out of the shack carrying a bag.”
Officers were able to trace and arrest the man.
He has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court, where his case was postponed for plea and trial.
