The suspects were posing as employees using false credentials and company attire. Thanks to the vigilance of CPS Security, the perpetrators were caught, and a case of fraud was opened.
• Following a tip-off from a vigilant resident, CPS Security’s units responded to reports of cable theft in Brackenhurst.
A high-speed pursuit ensued, resulting in the apprehension of four suspects after their vehicle collided with a resident’s wall. Confiscated items included stolen cables, false plates, and cutting tools.
• In a quick response to multiple panic signals from a local convenience store, CPS Security foiled an armed robbery on Du Plessis Street, Florentia.
