A Primrose home owner recently opened a case of housebreaking and theft with the Primrose police, after discovering that his house had been robbed.<\/p>\n
The man was alerted to the crime by a neighbour, who called him and reportedly told him that his house had been broken into.<\/p>
He rushed to his Acacia Road home and found that a blue generator, a gate motor and jewellery were missing.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is alleged that the burglars gained access to the home through a bedroom window,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>
\u201cThe docket was handed over to the Primrose police\u2019s housebreaking and theft task team.\u201d<\/p>\n
The team followed several leads and traced a 30-year-old man, who was in possession of the stolen gate motor.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe then led the task team to another 30-year-old man, who had allegedly given him the gate motor,\u201d Maome said.<\/p>\n
Both were arrested and charged with housebreaking and theft.<\/p>\n
They were detained at the Primrose Police Station, pending their appearance in the Germiston Magistrates Court.<\/p>\n
Commander of the Primrose Police Station, Col Mduduzi Khuzwayo, thanked the task team members for their hard work and urged other detectives to learn from them.<\/p>\n
