Two men, aged 32 and 38 respectively, were arrested by the Primrose police last Thursday on a charge of house break-in and theft.
The crime was reported to the police by a Makause informal settlement woman who alleged that when she returned home, after spending the night at her boyfriend’s house, she found the padlock she used to lock her shack lying on the ground.

“She told officers when she entered the shack she discovered that shoes and clothing had been stolen,” explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.
“Police were able to trace the suspects after a short investigation.
“The men were allegedly found in possession of a number of the stolen items.”
