Durban North brush-cutter thief convicted

His conviction came just eleven days after he was arrested by members of the Special Operations Team.

A MAN linked to a case of theft in Durban North was convicted by the Durban Magistrate’s Court.

Marshall Security Spokesperson Tyron Powell said that Musa Dlamini was arrested after members of the Marshall Security Emergency Dispatch were alerted by a client of a theft.

“Dlamini was arrested by members of our Special Operations Team after the Marshall Security Emergency Dispatch was informed by a client in Hudson Place that a suspect had stolen their brush cutter from their garage. A few minutes later, he was spotted walking on North Coast Road and arrested after a short foot chase,” said Powell.

Powell said, Dlamini was sentenced to three months imprisonment, which will be wholly suspended for five years, or with an option to pay a fine of R3 000.

“He paid his fine and was released while being declared unfit to possess a firearm in the future. Well done to Detective Sergeant Chiya from Greenwood Park SAPS,” he said.
