A video of a homeowner who fought and captured one of two thieves who had broken into a vehicle in his yard in Alberton, Gauteng, on Monday, has received mixed reaction from the public.
In CCTV footage shared on Twitter by crime activist Yusuf Abramjee, one male suspect is seen inside one of several vehicles parked inside the property just before 6am in the pouring rain.
A second suspect appears and walks around.
Just as the two suspects were about to leave, a man runs out of the house and grabs one of them.
While the suspect struggles to get free from the homeowner, who throws in a few punches, the other suspect quickly exits the yard through the gate.
The homeowner then secures the suspect against another vehicle.
