Two Suspects Nabbed Last Night — Atlas Security On Scene in Under 3 Minutes
Crime
Last night, our Rapid Intervention Unit (RIU) was stationed in South End when an urgent call for help came through a Walmer community group. Within just 3 minutes, Bravo 8 and Bravo 20 were on scene at the property.
After a tactical inspection, our team found evidence of a break-in through a smashed lounge window, covered with planks. With the help of the construction manager, the team entered and quickly detained the first suspect, found hiding in a bedroom cupboard.
But the job wasn’t over. Surveillance footage showed a second suspect was still inside. Using a ladder, our team gained access to the roof and arrested the second suspect hiding in the ceiling.
Both suspects were safely detained, their equipment seized, and, after statements were given, they were handed over to Walmer SAPS.
Atlas Security. Fast. Fearless. Reliable. That’s how we protect our community.
