The law enforcers gave chase on foot and apprehended the suspect and brought him back to the said premises.
A search was conducted on the property and uncovered x8 computer mousses, x70 Glutathione 250mg and 500mg x60 capsules, x18 firming body wash, x20 drinking bottles with blue cover, x1 black gas gun umarex TP 50 compact, x30 salon curling irons, x10 coupler 2 way socket, and razors, with an estimated worth of eighty thousand Rands (R80 000).

The suspect was immediately placed under arrest and detained at the Primrose Police Station, facing charges of possession suspected stolen goods. He is expected to appear at the Germiston Magistrate’s Court soon.
