SHOOT: Treat your guards with respect, but also circumspection.
Johannesburg - A security guard at a residential complex in Silverton was arrested for his involvement in a house robbery on Monday, Tshwane police said.
Captain Jan Shawane Sepato said the guard was arrested after confessing he knew a group of seven armed robbers who had robbed a house in the Savana residential complex in Silverton.
"The security guard opened the gate for a group of men driving a VW Kombi without searching them. They went into the complex, forced open a window and robbed the occupants with firearms," said Sepato.
The 35-year-old guard then let the group go without searching them when they exited the complex with the Kombi, followed by a stolen Corsa bakkie.
"The guard admitted that he knew the suspects and led us to the house of one of them in Mamelodi," said Sepato.
The 34-year-old suspect was arrested and some of the stolen electrical equipment was recovered.
