“The caller suspected a potential business break-in, prompting an immediate response,” said Marshall Security spokesperson Tyron Powell.
Armed response officers arrived at the scene and spotted three suspects, one of whom was promptly apprehended.
“The other two fled into a nearby informal settlement. Several bags containing stolen items were recovered at the scene,” added Powell.
After probing the suspect about how he came into possession of these items, it was established that they were taken from the Stanhope Place premises.
Greenwood Park SAPS is investigating further.
