An 18-year-old man was arrested by the Primrose police, last Tuesday, and charged for possession of suspected stolen property.<\/p>\n
The arrest was made with the help of community patrollers.<\/p>
\u201cThe complainant alleged that he received a complaint from another community patroller informing him that she had seen a young man walking down Pollock Street carrying several plastic chairs,\u201d explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
The patrollers rushed to the street where they found the accused.<\/p>
\u201cThey stopped him and asked where he had obtained the chairs and why he was carrying them down the road so late at night,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
The suspected reportedly told the patrollers that he got them from a local restaurant in AG De Witt Drive.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe patrollers brought the man, and the chairs, to the Primrose Police Station.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe thank the community patrollers for helping us to reduce crime in our area,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
The accused was detained at the station pending his appearance in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court.<\/p>\n
