At 03h01 this morning, Marshall Security’s Emergency Dispatch Centre received an alarm activation from a client’s residence on Eastview Road in the Park Hill area. Our Armed Response Officers were immediately dispatched to the scene.
Upon arrival, our Officers noticed two suspects at the rear of the property. As soon as the suspects spotted one of our Officers, they fled, prompting the Officer to request backup while pursuing the suspects. One suspect was successfully apprehended on Highlands Road and was found in possession of copper pipes and electrical cable. The second suspect unfortunately managed to escape after an extensive search.
It was discovered that the suspects had cut copper pipes and electrical wiring from the property’s roof, where the geyser was located. Greenwood Park SAPS arrived shortly after and transported the suspect to the station for further processing.
Marshall Security emphasizes the critical importance of opening cases. Failing to do so allows repeat offenders to continue their criminal activities without consequence. By taking legal action, residents can play a vital role in stopping these crimes and ensuring safety in our community.
This arrest highlights the power of rapid response and community vigilance in fighting theft and keeping the Park Hill area safe.
