Team work between the Primrose police and a local security guard led to the arrest of two men.
The suspects were arrested in Johan Rissik Street, in connection with the theft of R12 000 worth of copper cable.
The arrest was made when the security guard received a report of an alarm going off in Johan Rissik Street and, on arrival, noticed a moving manhole cover.
When he opened the manhole he discovered two men still in the possession of the copper cable.
The security guard arrested the men and called the Primrose police to come and collect them.
He handed over the men, who were taken to the Primrose Police Station, where they were formally charged.
They later appeared in the Germiston Magistrates Court, where their case was postponed for trial.
