A 19 year old male was arrested and goods stolen during a house break-in were recovered by Reaction Officers in Phoenix – KZN.
Members of Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) were on patrol when they noticed the suspect exiting a bush carrying two filled pillow cases.
The suspect re-entered the bush when he noticed Reaction Officers approaching.
RUSA Members apprehended him and discovered the pillow cases filled with several pairs of takkies, outdoor lights,
extension cords, a hair straightener and power tools.
During an interview, the teenager confirmed that he had just burgled a residence in the nearby vicinity. He led Reaction Officers to a house on Towerbridge Gardens in Stonebridge – KZN.
Neighbours made contact with the owner who arrived shortly thereafter.
A bedroom window was discovered ajar and all the rooms in the house were ransacked.
The owner confirmed that the stolen goods including the pillow cases belonged to him.
