On their arrival, the police found many electrical appliances such as a DSTV, a computer and a hi-fi, a lawn mower, clothes, pots, bicycle and food.

The recovered items were linked to the case opened on 18 April.

Police are still looking for the suspects and urged the community to come forward with information that may lead to the successful arrest of the perpetrators.

She further mentioned that in some of the cases, housesbreakings happened during the day when people are at work and school.

W/O Matrose urged the community to work hand in hand with the police to fight crime in the area.
