Immediately they informed the&nbsp;patrollers in the area who then made an appeal to the community&nbsp;to look for them (window frames),\u201d said Diniso, adding that within 30 minutes they found the lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the patrollers went to the house and found the suspect with two frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_7c95f4c3\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/9859\/3098208a963b4dbaa343222a80e11f5f.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/cityvision\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4d9c19f202d441b7a02929f08f5b7f2e.jpg\" title=\"Before the window frames were stolen.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Before the window frames were stolen.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/9859\/877ee7d6f4344ebd8736c13281420ff3.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/cityvision\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fc7521ace8154db595d24f1d7cbe2c74.jpg\" title=\"School building left without window frames after the criminal stolen them.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">School building left without window frames after the criminal stolen them.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Diniso said, according to the&nbsp;security guards, they saw the suspect passing by the school at about 02:00. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diniso said he suspected that the culprit was&nbsp;going to sell&nbsp;them to the community.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI believe that the suspect had already had a buyer for those window&nbsp;frames.
