Two culprits who forced to open a gate at a house in Lenasia South extension 1, were caught by several people in the community, who gave chase.
The two culprits did not realise that the owner of the house was inside.
According to Sergeant Khalipha Mvula communication officer of Lenasia South SAPS, the woman heard a disturbing noise outside but she thought it was her neighbours and ignored the noise.
Then, she decided to look through the window to see where the noise was coming from and she saw the two culprits attempting to break the door.
She managed to take a few pictures when they were attempting to break the door.
“They realised that someone was looking and they left their tools and ran away,” said Mvula.
They left behind the tools of trade.
The woman alerted her neighbours and with their assistance, they managed to apprehend one of the culprits.
Mvula says the other one is still at large. A case of attempted house breaking was opened and investigations are still continuing.
