“The APCAN reaction officer, Romeo, made contact with the man and discovered that he was carrying multiple pieces of housebreaking equipment and tools. On further investigation, it was found that he also had a large amount of meat containing dog poison, also known as Two-Step,” the post read.
The suspect was apprehended and handed over to the Florida Police.
Sergeant Mpho More, the Florida Police’s spokesperson, confirmed the arrest and said the suspect will appear in the Roodepoort Magistrates’ Court soon.
“At about 2.45am, members of the Florida Vispol received a call from APCAN Security regarding a suspect in possession of housebreaking implements. They swiftly responded to the call and a male suspect, aged 43, was arrested,” said More.
