BLUE Security armed response officers arrested three alleged housebreakers at separate crime scenes across the Highway area yesterday.
The company’s community and media liaison officer, Andreas Mathios, said an armed response officer swooped in on the scene of an attempted housebreaking in Worlds View Road in Gillitts at around 1.20pm.
“While the officer was busy inspecting the property he noticed that the garage roller door was slightly open. He investigated and found the suspect hiding inside the garage,” said Mathios.
The suspect gained entry to the property by jumping over a back fence before forcing open the garage door.
