It was not an easy week for several people at the coast who make a profession of burglary and theft. Two burglars were caught red handed and arrested committing a burglary at a church in Swakopmund earlier this week, whilst the man who was shot at and arrested in Walvis Bay's lagoon suburb on Monday turned out to be a career criminal, wanted for burglaries by the Swakopmund police.

Klante by die Super Spar op Swakopmund moes gister vir hul lewens vlug, toe 'n deel van die dakstruktuur van die supermark omstreeks halftwaalf ineengestort het. Deur die genade is niemand in die voorval beseer nie, maar die eienaar van die supermark en gebou gaan nou 'n dringende ondersoek gelas na die oorsaak van die ineenstorting.

Nampol spokesperson, Commissioner Otillie Kashuupulwa, confirmed the man arrested on Monday in the lagoon suburb is Aino Kapero. He is wanted by the Namibian Police for burglaries committed in Swakopmund's Mondesa suburb and for escaping from lawful custody. Kapero tried to stab two members of the public with a pocket knife on Monday during his arrest.

“Ons weet nog nie presies hoe dit gebeur het nie maar ons vermoed die yster-ankers waarmee die dak vasgetrek was, het losgekom. Ons weet nog nie hoeveel skade die dakineenstorting veroorsaak het nie, maar ek kan voorlopig sê dit is baie.” “Ons is net dankbaar dat niemand seergekry het nie. Ons is baie besorgd oor beide ons werknemers en ons kliënte en hul veiligheid kom eerste. Sien foto's op bladsy 2

A security official also fired two shots at Kapero. The two suspects arrested for the church burglary on Wednesday got more than what they bargained for when they also gained entry to a house on the same premises. There they were overpowered and pinned down until the police came and carried out the arrest. See pictures on page 2
