Hawkeye Security apprehends meat thieves and hands them over to the police
One suspect fled and removed his overall in order to evade capture, but he was eventually arrested.
Midrand police arrested theft suspects on October 3 after Hawkeye Security reaction officers apprehended them.
Hawkeye’s response officers parked at a local petrol garage and observed items being moved from the back of a truck into a car parked at the side of the garage by two men.
The reaction officers reported the matter to their senior who arrived on the scene. The two men were approached and questioned, and it turned out they were stealing stock from their employer and selling it to another man they knew.
The car was checked, and stolen stock was found. The manager of the company from which the stock was stolen and Midrand police were contacted and arrived on the scene.
One suspect ran away and removed his overall to avoid being caught. He was eventually caught on Bekker Street.
The goods and cash were recovered, and the manager verified that the goods were company stock.
Midrand Police Station spokesperson, Constable Eliot Mabulane confirmed that the suspects were arrested and will appear in court on a case of theft.
