This morning at approximately 08h07, the Marshall Security Emergency Dispatch Centre received a call for assistance from a client on Umhlanga Rocks Drive in the Durban North area. The client reported witnessing a suspect jumping out of a business property on Kenneth Kaunda in the Park Hill area carrying two large bags. The suspect was seen heading towards Blackburn Road.
Multiple Armed Response Officers were immediately dispatched to the scene. Upon arriving on Blackburn Road, our Officers spotted and apprehended the suspect fitting the description. The suspect was found in possession of two black bags containing sealed, brand-new diapers, two-plate stoves, and cooking ware. When questioned, the suspect admitted to stealing the items from the business premises he was spotted jumping out of.
Although the business that was broken into is not our client, our Emergency Dispatch Centre managed to find contact numbers online and reached out to the owner who was informed of the incident and attended the scene. The suspect has been handed over to the Greenwood Park SAPS for further processing.
