Mi7 National Group’s Control Room received a request for assistance from a Park Lane resident in Marburg who had posted on community groups and reported that one suspect had broken into their property.
Mi7 Armed Response teams in Port Shepstone were immediately dispatched to the premises where they found that the suspect had stole several items and fled. The teams obtained a description of the suspect and a widespread search ensued.
After searching the area, Mi7 teams spotted a man matching the description and immediately gave chase. The suspect was apprehended and was found in possession of the stolen items. He admitted to the crime after questioning.
The resident positively identified the suspect and the stolen items, however, decided not to report the matter to the police. The suspect was given a warning, and his details obtained, before being escorted out of the area.
