Port Elizabeth: It is alleged that at about 09:30 this morning, the owner of a house in Gomery Place Summerstrand had surprised an intruder who was busy packing household items into a bag. The woman screamed and the suspect grabbed her by her arm. The 57 year old woman’s husband who was in the outbuilding rushed in and confronted the suspect who was making a hasty exit. A scuffle ensued between the two men and the complainant succeeded in overpowering the man. Police was summoned and the 38 year old suspect from New Brighton was arrested and detained on a charge of house robbery.
