Following a social media report of males walking with suspected stolen cables on the N2 in the direction of Baywest, Armed Response vehicles together with Cotswold NHW responded immediately.
Upon arrival, members observed the suspects on the freeway carrying cables. The suspects dropped the cables and fled into nearby bushes. Armed Response officers conducted a search of the area and successfully arrested one suspect who was found hiding in the bush behind nearby houses.
Further investigation at the scene revealed approximately 150 meters of Telkom cable.
The suspect was handed over to Kabega Park SAPS and will be detained for damage to infrastructure.
Thank you to the resident who noticed the suspicious activity and reported it immediately β well done!
Great work to the Armed Response teams and Cotswold NHW members who assisted in the search.
