Norkem Park SAPS spokesman, Capt Lesibana Molokomme, said: “It is alleged that the four were burgling houses in Norkem Park and hid the stolen property in Vusimusi in Tembisa.”
On the day of the arrest, a security guard on duty at a vacant house on Calidon Street, Norkem Park ext 4 spotted the suspects and shouted for help from neighbours.
