An armed response officer arrested a robber after he gained entry into a property in Vasco Da Gama Drive on Wednesday morning, 23 May.
“Two men jumped over the driveway gate of the property and went into the garage where they stole food from a fridge, a pick and other goods before fleeing the scene,” said Blue Security community and media liaison officer, Andreas Mathios Mathios.
Mathios said armed response officers responded and managed to chase down and arrest one of the men, who was handed over to Amanzimtoti SAPS.
Mathios said an armed response officer also arrested an alleged housebreaker who attempted to break into a house in Kingsway in Warner Beach on Tuesday, 22 May. The incident occurred at about 10.05am.
“A resident reported she had spotted a burglar trying to break into her property and when she screamed, he turned and fled across a railway line, onto the beach. The information was relayed to our officer patrolling in the area and he nabbed the suspect as he emerged from the beach,” Mathios said.
The man was handed over to the Amanzimtoti SAPS.
