“The client stated that a suspect had just jumped into their property from a neighbouring property,” said Marshall spokesperson, Tyron Powell.
“Teams arrived at the scene within minutes and immediately arrested the suspect,” he said.
After searching the alleged burglar, officers found a cellphone and a screwdriver in his possession.
“It was later established that the suspect had committed a house robbery in the neighbouring property in Annan Place where the domestic worker was held up with a screwdriver. The suspect demanded her cellphone and cash,” said Powell.
This property was not monitored by Marshall.
