Armed Response Officers Apprehend Ladder Thief on Henry Pennington Road

At 03:04, the Marshall Security Emergency Dispatch Centre received an alert from GWA’s overhead CCTV cameras regarding a man carrying a ladder on Henry Pennington Road in the Westmead area.

Multiple Armed Response Officers were immediately dispatched to the scene. Our officers managed to apprehend the suspect a short while later after not providing a reasonable explanation as to how he had the ladder in his possession. During questioning, the suspect confessed to stealing the ladder from a former employer.

Attempts to contact the former employer were unfortunately unsuccessful.

The suspect was handed over to Pinetown SAPS for further investigation and processing.

These incidents highlight the unwavering commitment of the Greater Westmead Association, Marshall Security, and Pinetown SAPS to community safety. We commend our officers for their vigilance and quick response, ensuring that we stop crime in its tracks, resulting in safe and secure community.
