Linden labourer arrested for alleged break-in at teacher’s home

A 45-year-old labourer from Lower Kara-Kara, McKenzie, Linden, was taken into custody for breaking into the home of a teacher on Redwood Crescent, McKenzie, Linden, on Thursday.

Police stated that the victim’s 16-year-old son secured the house before leaving for school, but when he returned later that day, he discovered the front door open and several household items packed inside the house.

The teenager subsequently observed a man near the premises who approached him while he was attempting to secure the door. He raised an alarm, and neighbours came out to render assistance.
