Cove Rock Estate "Burglar Ring" Bust

Four men, including a Pakistani shop owner, were yesterday arrested during a raid in Orange Grove and in the East London CBD.

The arrests were the culmination of six months of investigations into a spate of burglaries at homes in Cove Rock Estate.

The suspects, aged 19 to 21, pointed out to police a cellphone shop in North Street where they said they sold cellphones and laptops allegedly stolen from homes.

One of the suspects told a private investigator who had tracked them down how he had got into the investigator’s house and stolen a laptop, cellphones and PlayStation games.
