After closing his shop in Rietfontein Road, Primrose, for the night a store owner headed home, only to be called back a few hours later by a neighbour who said someone was robbing the business.<\/p>\n
He rushed to the scene where he found the store\u2019s door wide open and a crate of alcohol sitting outside.<\/p>
Upon further inspection, he found that the alcohol that had been stored in the storeroom was missing.<\/p>\n
Officers and members of the SAPS K9 Unit were called to the scene, and during a sweep of the scene found a 19-year-old woman hiding in the roof.<\/p>
She was arrested and charged with business break-in.<\/p>\n
She has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court where her case was postponed for plea and trial.<\/p>\n
\u201cA big thank you goes to our community patrollers who assisted in this arrest,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
