The Primrose police recently arrested two suspects, aged 24 and 33 years old, respectively.<\/p>\n
The men were charged with housebreaking and theft and possession of stolen property after they allegedly robbed a Wychwood home.<\/p>
The incident was reported to police by a neighbour.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe complainant alleged that she received a call from the head of the patrollers from the neighbourhood watch asking her if her neighbours were moving out because there were four men loading stuff onto a bakkie,\u201d said communications officer for the Primrose police, Sgt Styles Maome.<\/p>
Suspicious as she knew his neighbour was in hospital, the complainant drove to the address and blocked the gate with her vehicle and called the local security company for backup.<\/p>\n
\u201cTwo men allegedly exited the house and seeing the security company ran away.<\/p>\n
\u201cSecurity guards were able to catch the remaining two and called the police,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
The two men were arrested and taken to the Primrose Police Station.<\/p>\n
A manhunt has been launched to find the two suspects who escaped.<\/p>\n
The station commander for the Primrose police, Col Albertina Vesi, thanked the community for their assistance in the incident.<\/p>\n
The men have since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court, where the case was postponed for plea and trial.<\/p>\n
