A 48-year-old man was recently arrested by the Primrose police and charged with possession of suspected stolen property.<\/p>\n
The arrest was made after police were called to Main Reef Road, near Geldenhuis Train Station, where security guards had apprehended the suspect.<\/p>
\u201cThe security guards told officers they had been on a patrol along the railway line when they noticed the man carrying five train windows and two train doors in a wheelbarrow.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey approached him and asked him where he had obtained the items but he could not give a clear explanation,\u201d explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>
The security guards handed the accused over to police, without injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you to the security guards for not taking the law into their own hands,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
He was taken to the Primrose Police Station where he was charged.<\/p>\n
He has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court, where his case was postponed for plea and trial.<\/p>\n
