In the early hours of October 19, CB Security’s Armed Reaction Team in Potchefstroom acted swiftly after receiving a report of suspicious activity involving a white Polo.

Five suspects were detained and stolen items recovered before further incidents could occur. SAPS later arrived on the scene to continue the investigation.

“A big shout-out to our Armed Reaction officers for their fast thinking and bravery, proving once again that our team is always ready, day or night, to protect our community,” the security company praised its officers.

CB Security also asked the public to report suspicious behaviour.

“If you ever notice suspicious behaviour, especially around parked cars or at night, don’t approach suspects yourself. Rather contact our 24/7 Control Room or your local SAPS immediately. Quick reporting saves time and keeps everyone safe.”
