At around 11:25 this morning, Marshall Security's CCTV control room noticed a suspect stealing a metal sign from a customer's premises at Cassiafield Grove in the Umgeni Business Park area.
An AI-powered camera system at the scene provided a clear visual depiction of the suspect and stolen property. Multiple Marshall Security Armed Response Officers and Special Operations Team members were deployed without delay.
While responding, officers observed the suspect moving along Willowfield Crescent. The suspect was quickly intercepted and arrested, but still had the stolen sign in his possession.
The business owner was immediately contacted, informed of the arrest, and confirmed the intention to prosecute.
Greenwood Park SAPS were dispatched and arrived shortly thereafter, took over the scene and transported the suspect to the police station for further investigation and processing.
This incident highlighted the effectiveness of Marshall Security's AI-driven CCTV technology in enabling early detection, real-time information sharing, and rapid armed response. By combining advanced technology with on-the-ground policing, Marshall Security continues to provide proactive crime prevention and decisive action when it matters most.
