Six suspects were arrested following a coordinated operation in Winchester Hills and Glenanda after reports of cable theft in the area.

Mondeor CPF Sector 2 received a call for assistance from Guardian Security after intelligence was received about suspects allegedly stealing electrical cables in Matroosberg Street, Winchester Hills.

Members of Mondeor CPF Sector 2 responded immediately and were swiftly joined by Fox Security.

A search of a nearby stormwater drain led to the arrest of three suspects. They were found in possession of cut electrical cables and equipment believed to have been used to commit the crime.

Further investigation, supported by the Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) technology, helped identify the vehicle allegedly used to transport the suspects. The vehicle was later spotted in Glenanda, where it was successfully intercepted.

Three additional suspects were arrested along with the vehicle by JMPD K9 and Fox Security. In total, six suspects were taken into custody.

The chairperson of Mondeor CPF Sector 2, Shane Thavar, praised the swift response and cooperation between all parties involved.

“This operation shows what can be achieved when law enforcement, private security companies and community structures work together. Our priority is to protect our infrastructure and keep our community safe,” he said.

The CPF extended its appreciation to all role players involved in the successful operation, including Mondeor SAPS, JMPD K9, Mondeor CPF Sector 2 patrollers, the LPR team, Guardian Security, Fox Security, GTS Security and ADT Security.

The operation highlighted strong teamwork and coordination among various stakeholders, reinforcing ongoing efforts to combat crime in the area.

“Together, we are making our community safer,” the chairperson added.
