“Our officers were dispatched to the scene and the homeowner advised that he saw two suspects trying to remove the glass from his one window frame. When the suspects saw the homeowner, they fled the scene. We searched the area and noticed two suspects hiding on Newport Avenue and a vehicle parked nearby. When our officers approached, the vehicle sped off. The suspects were arrested and have been linked to another break-in in O’Connor Place (Virginia) earlier in the week. They were handed over to Durban North SAPS,” Powell said.
He also thanked the Home Hawks Neighbourhood Watch members for their assistance in apprehending the suspects.
