A 32-year-old man was recently arrested by the Primrose police in connection with a Sunnyridge house robbery.<\/p>\n
The arrest was made after the victim travelled to the Primrose Police Station to report the incident, which had taken place at his home, in Collins Road, at about 3am.<\/p>
\u201cThe victim awakened to find three intruders in his room,\u201d explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey threatened him with a firearm and a sharp object he was unable to identify.\u201d<\/p>
The complainant told officers he thought that the gun the accused held was his pellet gun.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe began to scream and shout, trying get a neighbour’s attention,\u201d added Maome.<\/p>\n
With the victim screaming and shouting, the robbers decided to leave; they were able to make off with a cellphone and a TV.<\/p>\n
In their haste to leave, one of the men lost his cellphone.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur police used the information on the cellphone to trap the suspect,” explained Maome.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was arrested around 6am on the day of the robbery, at his place of residence in the Makause informal settlement.\u201d<\/p>\n
