The suspects were handed over to the Durban North SAPS.

Van Reenen added that the company had also recovered items stolen from a Virginia home during a housebreaking recently.

“While on a routine patrol in the Virginia area, our officer, noticed a white Toyota Quantum driving erratically. When the driver of the Toyota noticed our vehicle, he sped off towards the M4 Ruth First Highway and a high-speed chase ensued. The vehicle was eventually brought to a stop in Somtseu Road, near the Durban Station. The suspect jumped out of the vehicle and managed to evade arrest. A flatscreen television and various other items were found in the vehicle and were later confirmed to have been taken in a housebreaking in the Virginia area,” he said.
