“Our officers were on patrol when they spotted the suspect who was wearing dark clothing and carrying a bag. When police approached him, the suspect threw the bag into a bush on Prospect Hall Road and sprinted off.
“Our offices pursued and apprehended him a few metres down the road. They then returned to where he discarded his bag and found several housebreaking implements inside. We believe this suspect is linked to other housebreaking cases in the area and investigations are ongoing,” Deokaran said.
