Just after midnight on Tuesday, our control room received a call about a possible robbery in progress on King Edward Street, Newton Park. Our armed response team wasted no time and rushed to the scene. Upon arrival, they spotted two suspicious individuals trying to make a quick getaway from the premises. Both were swiftly detained. But that wasn’t all! Our sharp-eyed armed response officer noticed a third suspect hiding behind a tree inside the yard, armed with break-in tools. He didn’t get far—our team detained him too.

The culprits were attempting to steal a gate motor but only managed to damage the railing in the process. With gate motor thefts on the rise, this is a significant win for our team and the community!

A big shoutout to our officers, B132, B160, and backup B52, for their quick action and teamwork that led to the successful arrest of all three suspects!
