Burglar sentenced to seven years
PARKTOWN NORTH – The sentencing of house robber has been welcomed by the Parkview police.
Police spokesperson Sergeant Lloyd Ramovha said 31-year-old Jonathan van Rensburg had been convicted to seven years’ imprisonment at the Johanneburg Magistrate’s Court after he was found guilty of housebreaking and theft.
The incident happened on 5 January at a home on 3rd Avenue in Parktown North, and Van Rensburg was sentenced five months later on 28 May.
