At approximately 08H35 this morning, the Marshall Security Emergency Dispatch Centre received a panic button activation from a business located on Park Station Road in Greenwood Park.
Our Armed Response Officers were immediately dispatched to the scene to investigate. Upon arrival, our officers were informed by the client that a suspect was at the rear of the premises, attempting to steal copper pipes. Acting swiftly, our officer proceeded to the rear and apprehended the suspect before any further damage could be done.
The suspect was later handed over to Greenwood Park SAPS, where he will be charged with copper theft and trespassing.
We commend both our officers and the vigilant client for their quick action, which ensured that this theft was promptly halted. This incident underscores Marshall Security’s ongoing commitment to protecting the community and preventing criminal activity.
