“The security guards told officers they had been on a patrol along the railway line when they noticed the man carrying five train windows and two train doors in a wheelbarrow.
“They approached him and asked him where he had obtained the items but he could not give a clear explanation,” explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.
The security guards handed the accused over to police, without injury.
“Thank you to the security guards for not taking the law into their own hands,” said Maome.
