> > Riding down Polo (13:10 Wed 29 Jul) past Donne Lorraine noticed a tall > black man peering over a wooden fence. Being alerted she parked her > car at her home in Scott, collected a ONW 2-way radio and investigated > the matter. Peering through the fence she saw the man at the parked > vehicle inside the property and radioed me for assistance. I > immediately radioed for SAPS and ADT to attend to the scene but only > ADT responded. The Woodstock Police Shift Officer was notified via > cell to despatch a vehicle and to check down Rochester for the > suspect. We checked the premises but the suspect had already left > with a brass tap and a piece of copper pipe. Water was gushing from > the broken pipe, 2 CD covers were found discarded on the ground, the > car and home was fortunately not tampered with. On the neighbouring > property Mr Appels (ADT) checked and found a water trace leading over > the rear property wall where the house alarm had already sounded. The > perpetrator presumably left via Polo to the Main Road and was out of > sight by the time I looked there. The home owner incidentally arrived > to assess the home and we shut the water down. Two SAPS vehicles > arrived after their search and the one SW38 with Oupa (Const Luzipo), > back from his month leave carried out the necessary formalities. My > wife left to collect our grand children in Woodstock and radioed a > little while later that she had seen the perpetrator on Main Road near > Salt River Nedbank. SAPS SW38 was again alerted, the assailant > progressing to Shoprite, down Aberdeen and Plein Street was then lost > out of sight. She alerted the personnel of a parked SAPS vehicle in > Albert Road who made a radio contact on her ONW radio to SW38 and then > began blue light beaming search into the area, them finding him in > Cavendish Road. The perpetrator was apprehended by SW38 in possession > of the stolen copper pipe and other items he had gathered along the > way. Lorraine, in remote to the suspect, was able to positively > confirm the suspect who was then booked into Woodstock Station and > will be charged accordingly. > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
