Two suspects were arrested by the Norwood police for allegedly stealing a power generator which was recovered and given back to the owner.
The two suspects were arrested while they were pushing the generator on a street in Orange Grove.
According to the Acting Station Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Jan Sithole, the two were confronted by officers.
“When they were asked who the generator belonged to, they failed to respond making the police suspicious and they then brought them to the station,” Sithole said.
“Preliminary investigations revealed that the generator was not theirs and officers suspected that it might have been stolen and they were remanded in Norwood police custody.”
The two suspects were charged with possession of stolen property and were expected to appear in court soon.
The owners of the generator were located and the police returned it after they proved ownership.
Details: Norwood Police Station 011 483 4600.
