In August, Marshall Security’s Special Operations Team was alerted to a series of thefts involving real estate signboards reported by multiple real estate agencies across Durban North, Effingham, and Umhlanga. The thefts led to an estimated collective loss of over R50,000 for the affected businesses.
Following a month-long investigation, Marshall Security’s Special Operations Team successfully apprehended the suspect today on Kenneth Kaunda Road in Durban North. The suspect was found in possession of numerous stolen signboards.
At approximately 12h00, our Special Operations Team observed the suspect driving a blue Kia Picanto along Kenneth Kaunda Road. The team discreetly followed and noticed the vehicle’s boot was loaded with real estate signboards and steel frames. Acting swiftly, our officers stopped the vehicle and apprehended the suspect.
Durban North SAPS arrived a short while after. The stolen property, vehicle, and suspect were transported to the Durban North SAPS station for further investigation and legal processing.
This arrest highlights Marshall Security’s commitment to protecting local businesses and recovering stolen property. Our Special Operations Team continues to work tirelessly to prevent crime and safeguard the community.
