Booysens SAPS Sgt Edmond Rangwanasha’s fight against crime resulted in the suspect getting a sentence of three years in prison for house break-in.
Last year on September 18 at 8am the complainant left his place of residence in Ormonde. All the doors and windows were properly locked and the alarm was activated.
