On arrival, suspects were noted fleeing the area and a foot chase ensued resulting in the arrest. The suspects forced open a steel roller shutter door, before smashing the glass windows to a cycling shop.
Approximately fifteen high-end bicycles were taken, two of which were recovered in the surrounding area. An extensive search of the surrounding areas was conducted however the suspect’s accomplices remain at large.
The scene was secured and handed over along with the arrested suspect to the South African Police Services for further investigation and processing.
