11 September 2014: Police arrest two robbers in Wierda Park
Two men were arrested after they broke into a house in Wierda Park on Wednesday morning, Wierdabrug police spokesperson Captain Agnes Huma said.
Huma said the robbers, aged 24 and 27, entered through the front door in Brits Street. However, the victim was alerted by his alarm signal and he called the police.
“When he arrived at his house, the victim found the house was in a mess and there were two bags left outside full of clothes. He checked the video footage in the house and gave the police the description of the suspects,” she said.
Bystanders told the police that the two men had jumped the fence and tried to hide.
According to Wierdabrug Sector 3 Policing Forum, the two were found in a toilet. “The men were positively identified and arrested in an outside toilet where they were hiding,” said chairman Hannes Du Buisson.
Huma said one of the robbers was found in possession of a stolen cellphone and earrings. Investigations continued.
Du Buisson said the same men were seen in the area on Friday night. “They were spotted by patrollers in the same area. Asked what they are doing there, they said they were on their way to the shops.”
