This afternoon, Lyttelton Sektor 4 Gemeenskaps Polisierings Subforum / LS4 CPSF received an alert regarding movement at the Holgate Substation. Upon inspection, it was determined that suspects had locked themselves inside the facility. Security backup was immediately requested. Our Tactical units swiftly responded.
With the assistance of City of Tshwane (CoT), LS4, and Bull a grinder was used to gain access. Upon entry, the suspects were discovered hiding in a ditch. Two white adult males were subsequently arrested for attempted cable theft.
The scene was cleared and SAPS took the suspects into custody for further processing and lock-up. LS4 assisted CoT in securing the site by installing a new lock, as the original had to be cut during the operation.
A big thank you to everyone involved for their swift and effective response, leading to a huge success in the fight
against crime in our area.
