While on patrol in Rietfontein Road, last Monday, officers from the Primrose police noticed a 19-year-old man carrying a number of items including a speaker.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen he saw the police he became tense.<\/p>
\u201cHe was stopped and the police asked him where he found the speaker but he couldn\u2019t give a clear explanation,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
While officers were still speaking to the suspect, a man approached them claiming that the suspect had just robbed his Star Street home.<\/p>
\u201cThe man told officers that he had seen the accused jumping the wall and when he checked in his house he realised that his speakers had been taken,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
The suspect was arrested and taken to the Primrose Police Station, where he was charged with house break-in and theft and the possession of stolen property.<\/p>\n
He will appear at Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court soon.<\/p>\n
