FOUR suspects believed to be linked to several house break-ins in the Sunningdale, Glen Hills and Durban North areas were arrested on Wednesday morning (February 7).

The suspects were also found to be in possession of several stolen items they could not account for.

According to Marshall Security spokesperson Tyron Powell, the suspects were spotted in a Hyundai Atos around 04:20 in the morning with a brush cutter protruding from a window, raising suspicions among their team members.

“As soon as the vehicle spotted our team members following, they immediately started to travel at a higher speed in order to get away. Together with the assistance of Durban North SAPS, the vehicle was stopped, and four suspects were apprehended.

“Upon searching the suspects’ vehicle, multiple housebreaking implements were discovered as well as cellphones, shoes, bank cards and a brush cutter, and the suspects could not provide a reasonable explanation as to how they had these items in their possession,” he said.

Powell added that one of the suspects had previously been arrested in October 2020 for housebreaking and theft in the Durban North area.
