Two men, aged 39 and 42 years old receptively, were arrested by the Primrose police, last Saturday, for possession of suspected stolen property.<\/p>\n
The accused were arrested on the corner of Mimosa and Pretoria roads in Primrose while officers were on patrol in the area.<\/p>
\u201cWhile police were patrolling the area, they noticed the two suspects carrying a black metro wheelie bin.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the officers tried to stop the men they dropped the dustbin and ran into the Makause Informal Settlement,\u201d said communications officer for the Primrose police, Sgt Styles Maome.<\/p>
The dustbin was taken to the Primrose Police Station.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are dealing with a number of cases of stolen metro wheelie bins,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
The officers continued their patrol, during which they found the two men who they had seen earlier with the dustbin.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe men were arrested and brought to the Primrose Police Station,\u201d Maome said.<\/p>\n
They have since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court where their case was postponed for plea and trial.<\/p>\n
