It was a relatively quiet week for Mapogo A Mathamaga Security’s client base in Randfontein.
Operations manager at Mapogo, Ben Willemse said only three incidents were reported for the period between Monday, March 7 and Sunday, March 13.
A breakdown of the incidents:
• Tuesday, March 8 at 15:38 – Theft and arrest, North Way road, Greenhills. Intruders got into a property and stole a child’s BMX bicycle from the premises.

The suspect was handed over to Randfontein Police for further investigation.
