While at work, recently, a Lupin Street man received a call from his neighbour.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe complainant told police that his neighbour had told him that his door seemed to have been forced open,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>
The man rushed home, where he discovered that his house had been robbed and a plasma TV, Sony DVD home theatre system, four pairs of takkies, a pair of boots and R7 000 in cash were missing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe total value of the items taken was estimated at R30 000,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>
Primrose police began to investigate the crimes and after following several leads traced a 26-year-old man.<\/p>\n
He was arrested and charged with a house break-in and theft.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring questioning the suspect agreed to take officers to where he had hidden the stolen items,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
Officers recovered all of the stolen items in Elandsfontein.<\/p>\n
The suspect was held at the Primrose Police Station pending his appearance in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court.<\/p>\n
