Housebreaking suspects arrested in Braemar Avenue in La Lucia

Two men have been arrested following outstanding team work between Marshall Security, Blue Security and the South African Police Services.

At approximately 23:00 on Friday, a guest at a neighboring bed and breakfast in Braemar Avenue in La Lucia, north of Durban, noticed two suspicious men entering the next door property with back packs and alerted security services. Marshall Security Armed Reaction officers and Special Operations Team members descended on the area whilst a call was made for the assistance of the South African Police Services.

Marshall Security Special Operations Team Members and members of the South African Police Services managed to gain access to the premesis by climbing over a neighboring wall. A check on the property was conducted and no sign of forced entry was noted, however a back pack containing power supply units for an Xbox 360 console as well as various other items belonging to the home owner were found on the property.  With the assistance of Blue Security, a search of the surrounding area and neighboring properties was conducted. Two men were spotted on Davallen Avenue. When reaction officers approached the men they dropped a bag and attempted to flee on foot.  A foot chase ensued resulting in the arrest of both suspects.

The men were found to be in possession of various electronic equipment, high end watches and clothing. One of the men confessed to being the son of the domestic worker of the property on Braemer Avenue and that he had taken her keys to the property to conduct the house breaking.

Both men were arrested on site and remanded into the custody of the South African Police Services for further investigation and processing.
