A check of the premises revealed that three computers and two plasma television sets to the valued of R27 000, had been stolen.

He reported the break-in to the police and officers managed to track down and arrest a suspect about a month after the incident.

He has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court where his case was postponed for a bail application.
