An 18-year-old woman was recently arrested by the Primrose police for malicious damage to property.<\/p>\n
The arrest was made in Rietfontein Road, in Primrose, when the complainant called officers to the scene.<\/p>
\u201cShe explained that she had been in her bedroom when she began coughing terribly.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe went to the lounge to try to find the source of the irritation and discovered her TV that had been on was switched off,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>
She asked her domestic worker, who she found with a tin of furniture spray, what happened.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe woman allegedly told her that she had sprayed the TV with the furniture polish which caused it to stop working.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen asked why the accused allegedly said she did it because she was cross with the complainant,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
Without delay, the suspect reportedly began to pack her belongings with the intention to leave.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe complainant did not allow her to leave and called the police,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
The woman will appear in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court soon.<\/p>\n
