On Tuesday 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 housebreaking 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 fenceline.
