While trying to flee, the suspect damaged the garage’s roller door, triggering the alarm system.
“That was when the client spotted the intruder fleeing,” said Marshall Security spokesperson, Tyron Powell.
“Hand tools, a sewing machine, and possibly other items yet to be confirmed were stolen from the property,” added Powell.
Members of Marshall Security’s special operations team together with Greenwood Park Trio Crimes successfully located and apprehended the suspect in the Briardene informal settlement at about 11.00.
The stolen property was recovered, and both the suspect and the recovered goods were taken to Greenwood Park SAPS for further investigation and processing.
