Police are investigating whether the suspect is linked to cases of theft in the area.

A MAN was arrested for trespassing after he was caught jumping over fences into various properties in Durban North. He was arrested on Tuesday morning just after 8am said Marshall Security’s Kyle van Reenen.

“Response officers were alerted and patrols in the area were increased. Within an hour while on patrol, one of our vehicles spotted the suspect jumping over a wall of a premises in Ranleigh Crescent. The suspect was apprehended and handed over to the Durban North SAPS for further investigation and processing. It is unknown at this stage if the suspect is linked to other cases within the area,” he said.
