A Marlands homeowner was alerted to a break-in at his home last Thursday by his security company.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the complainant arrived at his Caledon Street home he discovered that the boundary fence had been pushed over and his garage had been broken into.<\/p>
\u201cUpon further inspection, he discovered that three mag rims, with tyres, had been taken,\u201d explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose Police.<\/p>\n
Later that same day, while security personnel was patrolling the Marlands area, they spotted three men carrying mags that matched the description of the items stolen from Caledon Street.<\/p>
\u201cWhen the accused saw the security officers approaching they dropped the alleged stolen items and ran in different directions,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
