A 13-year-old housebreaking suspect was found hiding in a bathroom after he allegedly broke into a house in Bluewater Bay in Gqeberha on Saturday.
Police spokesperson, Colonel Pricilla Naidu says K9 unit members assisted SAPS Swartkops and a security company after they received reports that an alarm was activated at a house in De Mist Cresent.
She says the suspects were still inside the house, and the dog ‘Cylo’ and his handler entered the house through a window.
Colonel Naidu says Cylo immediately reacted and ran to the bathroom where the teenager was found hiding on the shower wall.
Bags of stolen items were found in the shower.
The owner of the house was not at home.
The teenager was released in the custody of a relative and will appear in the Juvenile Court on 23 March on a charge of housebreaking.
Detectives are still searching for two more suspects.
