TWO alleged trespassers and an alleged house robber were arrested in Glenwood and Glenmore last week.
Blue Security operations manager Brian Jackson said a man had broken into a granny cottage in Ormiston Place where he held up the tenant and forced her into a wardrobe before hopping the fence to escape. The incident occurred at 6.30pm on Monday.
“He robbed her of a laptop, a cellphone, a camera, jewellery and cash and fled over the fence into a neighbouring property. There were no injuries,” he said.
Jackson said a resident in ZK Matthews (Nicolson) Road had heard a noise outside her property several minutes later and had pressed the panic button.
Blue Security response officers attended the scene and a officer searched the property and found the suspect hiding in a rubbish bin with the stolen items.
He was arrested and handed over to the Umbilo SAPS.
Jackson said all the stolen items were recovered and returned to the victim.
In a separate incident at 5.43pm on Sunday, armed response officers responded to a property in Helen Baxter Road in Glenmore where two alleged trespassers were arrested.
“The two men claimed that they had entered the wrong property. Nothing was stolen or damaged. The men were handed over to the Umbilo SAPS,” he said.
