Marshall Security responded to a call on Carlisle Crescent in Durban North. A client reported a suspect who had jumped into a neighbouring property (the client was a Marshall subscriber, but the targeted home was not).
- Officers arrived quickly and noticed displaced roof tiles, suggesting the intruder might still be inside.
- They cordoned off the property and conducted a structured search.
- Using a step ladder, they accessed the ceiling space where the suspect was hiding.
- The suspect was instructed to come down and was apprehended without incident.
- He was handed over to Durban North SAPS for processing and further investigation.
This matches the phrasing “trespassing suspect caught hiding in ceiling of Durban North home” closely, and the report surfaced very recently (within the last day or so as of April 2026).
