PLETTENBERG BAY NEWS - The vigilance of Plettenberg Bay security officers resulted in the recovery of four stolen bicycles over the weekend.

Smhart Security operations manager Tubby Will said some of their response officers spotted four youngsters running while carrying four bicycles, tied together with a coded chain lock, up Odlands Drive. “When I stopped my vehicle in from of them, they threw the bicycles down and fled. While response officers Mark and Charl jumped out and chased after them, I requested assistance,” Will said.

Plett Security, the Plett Rapid Response team and members of the Plett Watch group responded.

Will said Smhart Security officers apprehended two of the young suspects. “A third youngster was caught when he was spotted jumping out from a bush. The suspects were handed over to the police.”

The bicycles were confirmed stolen and handed back to the owners.
