SARAH BAARTMAN – An alert homeowner surprised and caught a burglar while busy stealing tools from his store room in Jeffreys Bay this morning.
On Friday morning, 23 July 2021 at about 03:30, a homeowner in Dolfyn Street, Pellsrus, Jeffreys Bay alleged that he was asleep when he was woken by a noise coming from his storeroom. He further said that he peeped through the window and saw that there was someone inside his store room.
The owner allegedly tip-toed out of the house, and caught the man while busy removing tools from the storeroom.
