At a taxi rank in Edwards Street in the CBD, they came across a man carrying a plastic bag on his head.
“The officers approached the man and asked if they could search the bag. They then opened it, and discovered two unassembled TV stands and two chairs.
The man, also 27 years old, was then arrested for being in possession of suspected stolen property and is expected to appear in the Westonaria Magistrates’ Court soon.”
Colonel Selvan Moonsamy, the Westonaria Police station commander again commended the members for their vigilance in light of the many business burglary cases recently reported in the CBD.
