On 28 November 2017, members from Durban Search and Rescue and K9 SAR, Durban Metro Police and Hillcrest SAPS detectives were recalled to the scene in Hillcrest where a house breaking suspect died after falling down a waterfall.
Exhibits needed to be recovered at the bottom of the 30m waterfall.
CCTV footage also indicated that a 2nd suspect had fallen off the cliff edge. K9 ‘Ghost’ was lowered over the edge down the waterfall with his partner Sgt Collin Chetty to conduct a Search.
Captain Nieuwoudt from Durban Metro Police assisted in the High Angle Operation.
The second suspect was not found after an extensive search. It appears that he may have landed on a ledge and escaped along the fence line.
