Arrest: Despatch

General

Atlas Security’s Control Room received a panic signal from the property. While en route, the Control Room received further confirmation from the client that noises could be heard coming from the roof.

Upon arrival, contact was made with the client, and further inspection confirmed the presence of a suspect on the roof. Multiple Atlas Security Armed Response Officers, along with SAPS members, arrived on scene to assist. The suspect was safely brought down without any injuries.

The client opted not to open a case with SAPS as no damages were identified at the time. The suspect was taken into custody by SAPS members.
