Two robbers were netted by the Community Crime Prevention Organisation (CCPO) in two separate incidents.
CCPO operations manager, Leon Joone said supervisor Michael Mkhize spotted a man being chased by a complainant in Old Main Road on Sunday, 13 September after the thief was disturbed in his house.
“The man was apprehended and a follow-up investigation led to the recovery of two bicycles. A laptop stolen by the man was sold and police are investigating the whereabouts of a second stolen laptop. Thanks to the SAPS who assisted.”
In a separate incident a man was apprehended in Everglade Road, Athlone Park on Wednesday, 16 September in possession of suspected stolen clothes, a screwdriver and knife.
“A member of the public identified socks the man was wearing as those stolen in a break-in at Twini Soccer Club the day before.”
Further investigation positively linked the man to a housebreaking in Wavecrest Road in 2012 through fingerprints.
