🔥 Secure-Tech Strikes Again!🚔

House-breaking Suspects Arrested - Stolen Goods Recovered.

In the early hours of Saturday, 30 May, Secure-Tech patrol officers were conducting routine patrols along Prince George Avenue when they noticed a residence gate standing partially open. Trusting their instincts, the team stopped to investigate.

Upon inspection, officers discovered that the home had been broken into while the owners were away. Secure-Tech immediately launched an on‑scene investigation. Community members assisted by identifying two possible suspects - a man and a woman.

Our team proceeded to the location where the suspects were found. A thorough search was conducted, and multiple stolen items from the residence were recovered in their possession.

Officers were led to another property on Boundary Road, where additional stolen goods were found, the investigation led to a third suspect at the second address, where additional stolen property was recovered. All three individuals were arrested and charged with:

🚨Housebreaking
🚨Possession of stolen property

Further investigation revealed that a stolen handbag had been handed in at a nearby gambling shop for “safekeeping.” Secure-Tech officers moved swiftly and successfully retrieved the handbag, ensuring it was returned to the rightful owner.

The suspects have already made their first court appearance, with further proceedings scheduled for later this week or next week. 👏 Outstanding work by:

🏆 Secure-Tech Patrol Team
🏆 Community Members for valuable assistance
🏆 Brakpan SAPS

Together, we continue to protect our neighbourhood through vigilance, teamwork, and rapid response.
