A 20-year-old man was arrested by the Primrose police, last Thursday, on a charge of possession of suspected stolen property.<\/p>\n
The arrest was made after police received a tip-off from the community that the suspect was selling tools, believed to be stolen.<\/p>
Officers raced to the Makause informal settlement where they found the accused.<\/p>\n
\u201cDetectives recognised the man from CCTV footage.<\/p>
\u201cIn the footage, a junior primary school was broken into and school tools were stolen,\u201d explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
The man was searched and officers found a drill machine, gas bottle, DC inverter, spanners and loose sockets in his possession.<\/p>\n
He was arrested and taken to the Primrose Police Station.<\/p>\n
He has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court where his case was postponed for plea and trial.<\/p>\n
