Johannesburg – A Durban man accused of housebreaking appeared in the Scottburgh Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, police said.

Security guards arrested Adolpheus Popo Mzimela, 31, in Pennington on Wednesday morning, said police spokesperson Thulani Zwane.

In his possession were two laptops, a pair of takkies, a cosmetic case and headphones, allegedly stolen from a house in Oyster Drive, a few hundred metres away.

Mzimela was also wanted by the Durban police for skipping bail, Zwane said.

He would appear again on 10 September.
