A HOUSEBREAKING suspect was arrested in Glenhills on Monday afternoon.
According to Marshall Security’s Tyron Powell, they were alerted to a housebreaking at a residence on Honeysuckle Place.
“A description of the suspect, who had forced open the garage door of the premises and was disturbed by the homeowner, was circulated to the responding officers. A suspect matching the description was seen walking on Rinaldo Road and when he noticed our response officers he jumped into a property on Rinaldo Road and started fence hopping into neighbouring properties in an escape attempt.

“Multiple armed response officers were dispatched to investigate and spotted the suspects pushing the stolen wheelbarrow and aircon on the M41. The suspects noticed our responding officers and immediately abandoned the stolen items as they fled into the bushes. An extensive search was conducted in and around the greenbelt, but unfortunately the suspects managed to evade arrest. The recovered items were handed over to the SAPS for further processing,” Powell said.
