The Primrose police\u2019s housebreaking task team recently arrested two men for the possession of suspected stolen property.<\/p>\n

The men, aged 30 and 31, were arrested in the Marathon informal settlement after the team received an anonymous tip-off.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The informant claimed the two had been seen carrying alleged stolen computers through the settlement.<\/p>\n

Undercover officers entered the settlement and tracked the two men.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe men were asked for proof of purchase but neither man could produce one and could not give a clear explanation as to where they had obtained the computers from,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n

They were arrested and detained at the Primrose Police Station.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the profiling procedure at the station, it was discovered the men were wanted by the Hillbrow SAPS, in connection with a case opened in 2012,\u201d Maome said.<\/p>\n

The men have since appeared in the Germiston Magistrates Court, where their case was postponed for plea and trial.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe accused will be handed over to the Hillbrow police once their case is finalised,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
