An alleged robber was nabbed by an SWS Security reaction officer, last Tuesday.
At about 10am, the control room received a panic signal from one of their clients in Castleview.
Reaction officer Morné Wittstock was dispatched to the premises and, upon his arrival, the client told him that there was a suspected robber on the neighbour’s premises.
Wittstock jumped over the wall into the neighbour’s yard and found the suspect with all the stolen goods (a gate rail, stainless steel and a toilet bowl).
He arrested the man and handed him over to the Germiston SAPS when they arrived on the scene.

I hope the neighbour is a client of SWS and both attend local Din-Al-View CPF meetings at Dinwiddie High at 18:30 on the last Wednesday of the month. These incidents need to be brought to the attention of residents who stand together to reduce crime in our suburbs. Even though only about 100 residents are active members of the CPF, they are making a difference in our fight against crime.
