Police in Mfuleni, Cape Town have arrested seven teenagers for breaking into a local high school, Western Cape police said on Saturday.
Mfuleni police were alerted to a burglary in progress at about 3.15am on Friday morning at a high school in Mfuleni, Captain FC van Wyk said.
“Members responded immediately and caught the suspects red-handed breaking into the school’s computer room. Seven male suspects, aged between 15 and 19 years, were arrested. They face charges of business burglary and possession of burglary implements,” he said.
The same school was burgled on December 25 and the suspects fled with computers. The circumstances surrounding the case were still under investigation and no one had yet been arrested.
“We appeal to the community to refrain from buying stolen goods, as this is a criminal offence,” Van Wyk said.
