The sergeant stood guard outside the toilet, but when the telephone rang in the charge office, he went to answer it.
“According to the sergeant, when he returned, he called out for the suspect, but there was no reply. He then discovered that man had jumped out of the open window,” said police spokesman, Lieutenant-Colonel Zandra Wiid.
The suspect had been arrested for possession of vehicle breaking-in implements and he is still on the run.
Senior reporter Sugan Naidoo is a true son of the South Coast soil. He was to the newspaper industry born, his late father working at the South Coast Herald back in the days when black and white photographs were still being used. Sugan has been with Caxton for close to three decades, having started as a weekend photographer, straight out of school. He soon showed his skill in hard news reporting and has, over the years, added to his repertoire, with motoring now one of his important beats. He is always willing to go the extra mile, especially if it's to test drive a new vehicle. He supports the Proteas, Springboks and Manchester United.
