While on a routine patrol on Pretoria Road recently, members of the Primrose Sector Two Patrol Team noticed a man behaving suspiciously.
Patrollers stopped the man and called police to the scene.
“When officers arrived they found a 23-year-old man.
“They searched him and found house numbers and tools in his possession,” said communications officer for the Primrose police, Sgt Styles Maome.
The accused could not give a clear explanation as to where he had obtained the house numbers and the tools, so he was arrested and charged with possession of suspected stolen property.
He was taken to the Primrose Police Station, pending his appearance in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court.
“We believe that the suspect may be linked to other house-breakings and thefts in the area.
“A full investigation is on the go,” said Maome.
