Durban business burglary foiled by swift response

A quick thinking Blue Security armed response officer arrested a burglar who attempted to break into a furniture store in the CBD in the early hours of this morning.
Blue Security operations manager Brian Jackson said the officer had responded to an alarm activation in Dr Pixley KaSeme Street (formerly West Street) where he disturbed the burglars at around 3.40am. “Three burglars were in the processing of trying to force open the store’s rear roller door and to brazenly pull a flat screen television under the roller door. But they turned and fled the moment our officer arrived,” he said.
According to Jackson the officer chased the gang and arrested one of the suspects on the corner of Dr Yusuf Dadoo Street (formerly Broad Street) and Monty Naicker Road (formerly Pine Street). The suspect was handed over to Durban Central SAPS who attended the scene of the crime.
“Upon further investigation it was found that the suspects had cut the burglar bars on a rear window and made a hole in the brick work to gain entry into the premises,” Jackson said.
