Four nine-year-old boys arrested in Hazelmere home break-in

# Four nine-years-old boys were arrested by Reaction Unit South Africa in Hazelmere, KwaZulu-Natal, after a female resident caught them breaking into her home yesterday morning. Preliminary investigations link the boys to a string of local break-ins targeting homes and tuck shops, with stolen items including phones, cash, and electronics. Authorities are investigating the matter while child protection laws shield their identities. Meanwhile, the Hazelmere community have called for support programmes to raise awareness about crime prevention and vigilance to curb problematic behaviour.
