K9 dog sniff out 13 year old housebreaker in shower
A 13-year-old
teenager was found hiding in the bathroom after he allegedly broke into a houseon 13 March 2021. The suspect was found with bags of stolen items; it was
alleged they might have been other suspects still in the house when the teen
was removed.
It is was
reported that at about 11:30, K9 unit members assisted SAPS Swartkops and a
security company after they received reports that an alarm was triggered at a
house in De Mist Cres in Bluewater Bay.
K9 dog
handler and his dog ‘Cylo’ entered the house through a window and sniffed out
the suspect standing on the shower wall. Investigations are continuing to establish whether the suspect can
be linked to other housebreakings in the area. Police are advising homeowners
to make sure that their burglar bars are securely fastened to their structure
as well as to ensure that the space between the bars are narrow enough so as to
deter any person from sliding through.
The teenage
suspect was released in the custody of a relative and will appear in the
juvenile court on 23 March 2021 on a charge of housebreaking. Detectives are
still searching for two other suspects.
