When a Cydonia Road home owner returned from a recent visit with friends she discovered her house’s storeroom had been broken into.
Upon further inspection she found that a white garden table, 12 white garden chairs, a geyser, a MNet decoder and several water pipes had been taken.
She called the Primrose police to report the incident.
With the help of CCTV footage officers were able to trace the suspect and he was arrested.
The 19-year-old will appear in the Germiston Magistrates Court soon, on charges of housebreaking and theft.
