Fidelity ADT officers foil burglary attempt

Submitted by: Jacqui

On Tuesday 29 August at around 13:47 Fidelity Reaction Officer Mohai received a call from a distressed resident informing him of two suspects breaking into her property.

Fidelity ADT Reaction officers were immediately dispatched to Rowel Road, Vaal.

Upon their arrival, officers found two suspects leaving the premises with corrugated sheets and a window frame.

Thanks to the swift response of Fidelity ADT officers, the suspects were apprehended and handed over to De Duer SAPS for theft.

Charnel Hattingh, group head of marketing & communication of Fidelity ADT says, “Perimeter security and access control remains the first and most powerful line of defence. “We urge all homeowners to consider installing outdoor detection devices and perimeter security to reduce the chances of criminals reaching your property and gaining access to your home. It needs to be seen as an investment not only in your assets but in your family too.”

Here are some security essentials to remember:

  • Ensure you arm your alarm not only when you leave home/premises but when you are at home.
  • Windows should be secured with beams or strong burglar-proofing and doors should be secured with security gates.
  • Secure your perimeter at all times!
  • Report anything suspicious to your security or SAPS immediately.
