On 27th November, Blue Security’s Tactical Ambassador, who was conducting crime prevention patrols in the Kloof area, recognised the registration number and distinguishing features of the vehicle linked to the break-ins. Acting quickly, the Tactical Ambassador followed the vehicle and contacted SAPS Pinetown to coordinate the response.
With the support of Blue Armed Response Officer (ARO) teams and Blue Tactical unit, the suspect’s vehicle was stopped on Village Road, Kloof. The suspects were detained while SAPS Pinetown members as well as SAPS Crime Intellegence quickly arrived on scene. A search of the vehicle conducted by SAPS revealed items used to break into the vehicles.
