A joint effort between the South African Police Services and Marshall Security saw an extensive search of the surrounding area conducted. Two suspects were found hiding in the low-level dense bush and were arrested on site. On further investigation it was ascertained that the men had attempted to break into a premises, however, had been disturbed by the external beams of the home security system.
The suspects were remanded in the custody of the South African Police Services for further investigation and processing.
