FRANCISTOWN: Three on-duty Security Systems guards are in police custody after they were allegedly caught red-handed stealing fuel. This shocking revelation of security personnel caught in the act goes against the ethos of strengthening the security of the workplace by keeping property and valuables safe.

Security Systems, a well-known security brand, has become popular on social media platforms through its official Facebook page by posting successful apprehension of criminals. In an interview with this publication, Kazungula Police station commander, Phetogo Philimon said the trio aged between 25 and 36 years, was caught red-handed by police patrolling in their policing area. He said the guards were caught on April 22 at their stationed line of duty at the China Civil Construction site.

The China Civil Construction Company is engaged in the locality to build a primary school in Kazungula whereas Security Systems is hired to guard and patrol the premises both at night and during the day for safekeeping of the construction site and equipment. Philimon said that during their patrol at around 4am, the police saw a uniformed security guard. In an attempt to stop him for questioning, the patrol officers noticed the guard was holding a container, which raised their suspicion.
