A man (36) was arrested and is due to appear in the Ixopo Magistrate’s Court tomorrow (May 8).
In a separate incident, a man (42) left his home in the Phongola area in St Faiths recently, and upon returning a few weeks later saw that his home had been broken into.
Among the items stolen were his television set, gas stove, building supplies and an electric meter box.
Acting on intelligence, Detective-Sergeant Bongumusa Yeni arrested a man (25) and recovered some of the stolen property.
The man will appear in the Ixopo Magistrate’s Court tomorrow (May 8).
