On Wednesday, 9 May 2018, at about 00:18 the complainant and her family were asleep when she heard a noise in their house at Jolton Street, Oakdene, Kuilsriver.
She and her husband went to investigate and found two suspects (unidentified males) in their house. Her husband approached the one suspect and he assaulted the husband with a hammer.
The suspects had gained entry through the front window, which they broke. They took a 43 inch Samsung LCD screen and fled the scene on foot.
The daughter’s friend arrived just then with his LDV and went to look for the suspects. He got hold of the one suspect, who was still in possession of the stolen LCD screen. The 35 year old suspect was then arrested on charges of house robbery.
Police are in pursuit of the other suspect and an arrest is imminent. The arrested suspect is expected to appear in the Kuilsriver Magistrates Court soon.
The LCD screen and hammer were handed in as exhibits.
