Early this morning, at approximately 01h20 the Marshall Security Emergency Dispatch Centre received a distress call from a client on Radar Drive, who observed a trespasser on their property through live CCTV monitoring.
In response, multiple Armed Response Officers and members of our Special Operations Team were immediately dispatched who arrived on scene within minutes.
Before our team’s arrival, it was noted that the intruder had already escaped on foot without taking any valuables or causing damage.
Our teams immediately conducted a thorough search for the suspect by patrolling the neighbouring roads.
Whilst our Officer’s were patrolling on Avon Crescent they spotted a suspect attempting to flee from a property who is a non Marshall Security client. Together with the assistance from another private security company the suspect was successful apprehended and found with several stolen items and house breaking implements.
It is unclear at this stage where the stolen items were stolen from however the Durban North SAPS were contacted who arrived on scene a short while later and transported the suspect to Durban North SAPS for further investigation and processing.
The suspect is known and was arrested last month by members of our Special Operations Team.
We encourage members of the community who might have recently been affected by theft or burglary to come forward and report these incidents to the SAPS, aiding in investigative efforts and enhancing neighbourhood security.
