Thanks to the quick thinking of a local security company officer, a man is behind bars for allegedly attempting to break into a house.<\/p>\n
The incident took place on July 6 at about 5.24pm in Delport Street, Elsburg.<\/p>
The security officer from SWS Security was driving along the street on his way to pick up a colleague when he noticed a man trying to break through the security door of a house in the street.<\/p>\n
He approached the three suspects and they fled on foot.<\/p>
The security officer gave chase and managed to catch one of the men.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old man was arrested by the Elsburg SAPS and detained at the Germiston Police Station.<\/p>\n
He is due to appear in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court soon to face a charge of attempted residential burglary.<\/p>\n
Elsburg SAPS station commander Lieut-Col Phiwe Ndwandwe initiated a partnership between the SAPS and local security companies in June.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince the partnership was implemented it has brought about a positive attitude, good relationship and an effort to work together from both the police and the security companies,\u201d said Const Daphney Phooko, communications officer for the Elsburg SAPS.<\/p>\n
