“The complainant told police that he had left the house in the morning for work as he normally did, making sure all doors and windows were properly closed and locked.
“However, when he returned home he discovered his front door had been forced open and his tools stolen,” explained communications officer for the Primrose police, Sgt Styles Maome.
Police opened a case into the matter and were able to trace the suspect.
