Theft from property - ARREST

October 16th, 2012 / 2012 October

St James - Tuesday around 11:30
A resident was in her flat and heard 3 big bangs and went up to investigate. In the stairwell there was a guy with a screwdriver and he said something fell but everything was ok. The resident thought he may be the new neighbour so went up the stairs with him. There she saw that the door was damaged and off but the suspect said to her that it had just fallen off. Immediately she knew there was a problem but did not want to spook the suspect. So she smiled at him, wished him well and went back to her flat and locked the door. She then called CBAR and SAPS who came there within minutes. They raced into the building and went straight upstairs and arrested the man who was in possession of the screwdriver, crowbar and all the stolen property (laptop, camera, GPS etc)
It is believed that he had a pick up vehicle waiting around to pick him up and eye witnesses report seeing a white Opel Corsa Bakkie in the area acting very suspiciously.
Well done to a very alert resident who went ti investigate instead of ignoring! A model citizen!
