“Our tactical team, which was busy doing crime prevention duties in the area, and the SAPS Hillcrest Crime Prevention Task Team, swiftly responded to the scene of the crime.
“Our team received information regarding the incident that indicated the suspects were just a minute or two away from the crime scene. We launched a search for the suspects who dumped the goods stolen during the housebreaking in some nearby bushes,” he said.
“The team recovered valuables, including a flat screen television, a brush cutter, a gaming console and other goods. Unfortunately the suspects evaded arrest, but the team remains on alert in search of the gang,” he said.
