Corner Bellair and Wexford Roads – Monday, at about 15:40
A resident noticed a suspicious person entering a garage at a block of flats across the road from her home. The man proceeded to take things out of the garage and load his shopping trolley which stood on the corner of Bellair & Wexford Roads. She took a photo and reported the sighting on the Whatsapp group. The man walked up Bellair Road towards Derry Street. The resident followed and caught up with him outside the Sidewalk Cafe where she asked him what he was doing going in and out the the garage. In the meantime, the incident was put out on the radio network and DPV members and ADT arrived on the scene. The suspect and his trolley were loaded onto the back of the ADT bakkie and taken back to the block of flats where it was discovered that the contents of the garage belonged to a local builder. When SAPS arrived, the builder opened a case of theft. The suspect was arrested.
