At approximately 03:00 on Monday morning, Marshall Security’s Emergency Contact Centre received a call for a house breaking in progress in Forest Drive in the suburb of La Lucia.
Armed Reaction officers were immediately dispatched and on arrival, a male suspect was found climbing a ladder, in an attempt to get over the property’s electric fence and evade arrest.
On further investigation, it was ascertained that the suspect had forced entry into the premises through a bathroom window when he was noticed by the homeowner who alerted Marshall Security.
The man was arrested on site and handed over to the South African Police Services for further investigation and processing.
