Suspect arrested for residential burglary and stolen property recovered. Around 15:00 a concerned community member called JVR about a suspicious person suspected of jumping over a wall of a house in Bronkhorstspruit. JVR armed response responded and confirmed a residential burglary in progress.
JVR armed response officers cordoned off the residence and with consent searched the house and arrested the suspect hiding inside the roof. By thorough search and investigation stolen property was also recovered.
Later the same night two more suspects were arrested by cooperation between SAPS and JVR in connection with this burglary and another TV was recovered.
Good job to all the response officers and the arresting JVR officer for not giving up and searching even the whole house roof inside. Great work to the vigilant civilian for reporting and SAPS for assistance later the night.
