Thanks to a watchful resident and quick security response from Onarmor Security Services, suspects for stealing gate motors were arrested after a dramatic chase.

A vigilant resident in Jukskei Park played a pivotal role in a dramatic incident early on January 22, alerting Onarmor Security Services to a white Audi matching the description of a known vehicle of interest.

It is believed that the suspects driving the car are involved in a gate motor syndicate in the area. “Our response officers were immediately dispatched to intercept. Upon locating the vehicle, a high-speed pursuit ensued,” said the owner of the company, Cedric Smith.
