On Monday, August 19th, at approximately 3:00 PM, Marshall Security received critical information from a victim who had previously endured a harrowing house robbery and rape in April 2024, in the Glen Anil area. The victim reported spotting the same suspect walking along Spruce Road in Glen Anil. Without delay, multiple armed reaction vehicles and members of Marshall Security’s Special Operations Team were immediately dispatched to the scene.
Upon arrival, Marshall Security members quickly identified the suspect on Spruce Road. When the suspect noticed the security team, he attempted to flee by jumping fences into neighboring properties. After a brief yet intense foot chase, the suspect was successfully apprehended by Marshall Security officers.
SAPS Greenwood Park detectives, who had been managing the house robbery and rape case since April, were promptly called to the scene. Upon arrival, they confirmed that the apprehended individual was indeed the same suspect responsible for the violent crime in the Glen Anil area. Remarkably, the suspect was still wearing a jacket stolen during the initial robbery. He was then transported to Greenwood Park SAPS for further investigation and processing.
This successful arrest highlights the dedication and coordination between Marshall Security’s Special Operations Team, Armed Response, and SAPS Greenwood Park detectives in bringing justice to victims and ensuring the safety of the community.
