According to Marshall Security’s Tyron Powell, the white Range Rover was parked suspiciously, with individuals loading the items, including a television, into the vehicle.
“Sensing criminal activity, our members initiated an immediate investigation, leading to a high-speed chase as the suspects sought escape. However, our determined officers persisted and successfully halted the vehicle on Umgeni Road in Morningside, leading to the apprehension of two suspects. Regrettably, one suspect managed to evade capture, ” he said.
Upon searching the vehicle, Durban Burglary Ring Bust and Durban North SAPS found a television, clothing, shoes, cellphones and watches, which were linked to two house-breaking incidents in the Sunningdale area and one in Somerset Park area, which occurred in the early hours of this morning.
The suspects are allegedly linked to numerous cases of house burglaries within the greater Durban area.
“The apprehended suspects, along with the recovered stolen goods and the vehicle used in the crimes, have been turned over to Durban North SAPS for further investigation and processing,” added Powell.
