Crime
On the evening of 23 December 2025,Atlas Security’s Control Room detected suspicious movement via live CCTV monitoring at a business premises in Swartkops, triggering a swift, coordinated response.
Live CCTV footage revealed a male dressed in dark clothing moving around the guard house, before entering the premises and sprinting toward the factory roof. Moments later, Bravo20 confirmed that the suspect was seen climbing onto the roof and lifting roof sheeting, confirming a business break-in in progress.

The suspect was located and detained inside the building by Atlas Security’s RIU team, before any major damage or theft could occur.
SAPS was immediately notified and attended the scene.
This incident once again proves that crime doesn’t stand a chance when technology, vigilance and rapid response work together. Live CCTV monitoring, decisive Control Room action and fast, coordinated Armed Response and RIU deployment stopped a business break-in in real time.
