            Pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a) of Regulation 13D-G of the General
Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Act"), Westar Capital, Inc., a Kansas corporation (the "Reporting
Person"), hereby amends and supplements its Statement on Schedule 13D
originally filed by the Reporting Person on January 26, 1996, as most
recently amended on July 12, 1996 by Amendment No. 4 thereto (the
"Statement"), with respect to the Common Shares, par value $0.10 per share
(the "Shares") of ADT Limited (the "Issuer").  Unless otherwise indicated,
each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning
assigned to such term in the Statement.

     This  Amendment  No. 5 is  being  filed in  connection  with the  Reporting
Person's filing on Form 4 today with respect to its purchases of Shares in July.

            Item 1.     SECURITY AND ISSUER.

            No material change.

            Item 2.     IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

            No material change.

            Item 3.     SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

            The aggregate purchase price (excluding commissions) for the
1,300,000 Shares purchased by the Reporting Person was $24,493,512.50. 
Such Shares were acquired with general capital funds of the Reporting
Person.

            Item 4.     PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.

            In order to obtain what the Reporting Person considered to be
favorable market prices for Shares, the Reporting Person decided to
purchase 1,300,000 Shares in open market transactions as more fully set
forth in Item 5 below.  In the future, the Reporting Person may from time
to time purchase or sell Shares at prevailing market prices, or may
negotiate to purchase or sell Shares privately.  

            The Reporting Person is still considering its options with
respect to the Issuer's proposed amalgamation (the "Proposed Transaction")
with Republic Industries, Inc. ("Republic"), and has not yet made a final
determination on this matter.  The Reporting Person may determine to oppose
the Proposed Transaction and may choose to exercise its appraisal rights
under Bermuda law, although no final decision by the Reporting Person has
yet been taken.

<PAGE> 4

            Should the Issuer consummate the Proposed Transaction with
Republic, and the Reporting Person receive Republic shares in connection
therewith, the Reporting Person may decide to sell some or all of such
Republic shares.

            Item 5.     INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

            Item 5 is hereby deleted in its entirety and restated as
follows:

            (a) According to the Issuer's Report on Form 10-Q for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, as of August 5, 1996 there were 133,736,123
Shares issued and outstanding, of which 3,182,787 were held by a subsidiary
of the Issuer.  The Reporting Person beneficially owns 32,100,000 Shares,
constituting approximately 24.0% of the total amount of issued and
outstanding Shares (including the Shares held by a subsidiary of the
Issuer), as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.  The Reporting Person has the sole power to vote or
direct the vote and to dispose of its Shares.

            (b) Since the filing of Amendment No. 4 to the Statement, the
Reporting Person has purchased 1,300,000 Shares in open market
transactions.  Set forth below is a table identifying and describing all
such transactions:
