According to a police report, Detective W/O Wayne Masterton from Malvern SAPS House Break-in Unit, was in the process of responding to a business robbery in the area, when he was flagged down by a community leader.
Five suspects were apprehended after they were found in possession of house break-in implements in the Malvern area, last Friday.
Communnications officers of Malvern SAPS, W/O Radhika Marimuthu said, "The community member stated that they were on a lookout for a suspicious white Toyota Corolla with a JN registration which was seen in their area with five males".
W/O Masterton then proceeded to the business robbery keeping this information in mind. "En route to the scene of the business robbery, the member spotted the same white Toyota Corolla with the five men in it. The member gave chase and stopped the vehicle, after having called for back up. The officer then singlehandedly ordered the five men out of the vehicle and asked them to lie flat on the ground," he said.
W/O Masterton found house break-in implements which included a crowbar, a pick, sledgehammer, screwdriver and gloves among others.
The suspects and the vehicle were taken to the station and it was determined that the suspects, all with previous convictions, ages ranging from 25-30 years, were charged and would appear in court on Monday morning," added W/O Marimuthu.
Investigations and linking of the suspects to other crimes are in progress. The acting station commander of Malvern SAPS Cpt. SN Khambula commended his member on his swift action, taking charge of the situation despite him being alone and placing his life on the line.
