A combined effort between security companies, Toti SAPS and Metro Police dog unit resulted in the arrest of a housebreaker on Tuesday morning, 6 May.
According to Community Crime Prevention Organisation operations manager, Leon Joone the thief attempted to break into a house in Cato Crescent at about 7am, was disturbed and he fled.
“He tried to break into a house in Glen Place and was also disturbed,” said Leon.
He then broke a window with a brick at a Dela Grant complex property and grabbed whatever he could reach through the window. He fled with a bag, shoes and clothing.
His description was circulated, which fitted the discription from the two previous attempted break-ins.
CCPO, Blue Security, Et Security, Toti SAPS and Metro Police dog unit cordoned off the area and when the thief was seen coming out of the bush near Old Main Road, he was arrested and the stolen goods recovered.
