Following an arrest by EPR Security, a 39-year-old man found himself in the Krugersdorp Police cells.
Krugersdorp Police spokesperson Captain Raymond Sebonyane explained the man was arrested at about 00:15 on Wednesday, December 1 after he allegedly robbed a house on Elphin Street, Kenmare.

The neighbour who heard the screaming contacted EPR Security. They gave chase and one of the suspects was apprehended a block away from the crime scene.”
A Samsung A10 cell phone was found in his possession and he was handed over to the police. The other two suspects are still at large.
