The Primrose police recently arrested two men on charges of housebreaking and theft.
The suspects, aged 16 and 32, are accused of robbing a home in Wolf Street.
Officers were alerted to the matter by the home owners, who explained that the wife had left for work early that morning, and the husband had stayed home, in bed, as he was feeling ill.
When the wife arrived home she noticed that one of the garage windows was broken.
She went into the house and woke her husband, who was still in bed, to inform him of what she’d seen.
The couple decided to investigate further and discovered that a number of items were missing from the garage.
After their personal investigation they called the police and reported the crime.
Officers responded quickly and were able to track the two men.
They were arrested and later appeared in the Germiston Magistrates Court, where their case was postponed for trial.
