PLETTENBERG BAY NEWS - Bitou law enforcement officers proved once again that they are at the top of their came when they recovered stolen goods and also apprehended the suspect.

Lisa Nagel from Plett.Watch, a local neighbourhood watch group, said during the early morning hours of Saturday 3 December several items were stolen from a home in lower Plett when the owner unlocked a door to let his dog out.

"On Monday morning the owner's wife was out walking her dog when she noticed a local security company member asking a person where he had gotten the JBL speaker he was carrying.

"He said he bought it and the security let him go," Nagel said. Moments later, the woman's cellphone connected to the speaker via Bluetooth. "When she approached him saying the speaker was hers, he ran off and disappeared."

Nagel reported the matter to Bitou law enforcement and within a few hours the team managed to track the suspect down and apprehend him. Upon further investigation the remainder of the goods stolen from the home were recovered.
