At approximately 06:20 this morning, SCP Security received an urgent report from a resident in the Roosevelt Park area regarding suspects actively stealing copper cables at the corner of Anton Van Wouw Street and Mendelsohn Road.

Our Control Room immediately dispatched multiple officers to the scene, who arrived within minutes.

Upon arrival of our members multiple suspects fled in a Mazda and two fled on foot, abandoning their second vehicle (a truck loaded with cables).

The suspects were pursued through the surrounding area and were successfully apprehended at the corner of 4th Avenue and 5th Street, Linden, demonstrating determination, teamwork, and bravery by our reaction officers.

* Linden SAPS was promptly contacted and responded to the scene.

* Multiple copper cables were recovered.

* The suspects’ truck was also recovered.

This successful arrest highlights the power of community vigilance, professional response, and effective coordination by our members. Well done, Team! We commend our officers for their dedication and thank the resident who reported the suspicious activity.
