According to BCI Security operations manager, Rudi Holtzhausen, a panic alarm was activated from the shopping centre and their officer responded. “Upon arrival, the reaction officer was informed that a person was busy shoplifting. When the officer investigated, the person tried to run away. The officer gave chase and apprehended the suspect,” he explained.
