Suspect Apprehended During Car Break-In Near Lion’s Head
The Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) Sea, Air, and Mountain (SEAM) Special Operations team successfully apprehended a suspect following a vehicle break-in along the Lion’s Head parking area earlier today.
While conducting a routine patrol in the vicinity, SEAM rangers witnessed a car break-in in progress. Upon noticing the rangers, the suspect attempted to flee on foot. A swift response was initiated, and a K9 was deployed.
The K9 engaged in pursuit and successfully apprehended the suspect a short distance from the scene. Law enforcement was immediately notified, and the suspect was handed over to the South African Police Service (SAPS) for further investigation.
SANParks reminds all visitors to remain vigilant and avoid leaving valuables in parked vehicles. Enhanced patrols will continue in hotspot areas to ensure the safety of park users.
