Glenwood residents halt hijacking of derelict Durban municipal property
The Mercury
|November 12, 2025
SHARP-EYED residents of Glenwood stopped a group of men who tried to hijack a derelict municipal property using a fake lease agreement letter.
The men were removed from the house. It is alleged that the men arrived in a bakkie and walked onto the unsecured premises next to an open field on Davenport Avenue.
A source explained that the men began working on the property. They were fixing the roof trusses, putting in windows, and erecting a wall around the premises.
They also called out a plumber to connect the water supply and connected cables to the nearby street pole to get electricity supply to the house.
The source said their efforts were thwarted when the community watch groups noticed the sudden changes to the premises.
Upon enquiring, the community leaders discovered that the men had a fake lease agreement.
