Three men caught with knives and toy gun in Cowies Hill

In a joint effort between two security companies, three armed men were arrested in Cowies Hill.

TWO security officers nabbed three alleged house robbers in Pinetown yesterday afternoon.

Blue Security tactical ambassador for the Highway area, Russel Lawson, said a security officer was patrolling Duncan Barrett Road in Cowies Hill when he spotted three suspicious individuals who appeared to be staking out a property.

“The individuals were behaving suspiciously and appeared to be nervous, so the officer called for back up. One of Blue Security’s armed response officers was first to respond and the pair approached the suspects, who turned out to be armed,” said Lawson.
