According to the police, the suspects allegedly smashed the couple’s door with stones before forcefully gaining entry into the house. Once inside, they demanded money and electronic gadgets.
No.13 District Officer Commanding, Senior Superintendent Mmoloke Sebako, said the police received a report at around 4am. “We received a report from a 70-year-old man who informed us that he and his wife were attacked and robbed whilst asleep. The suspects stole P1,000 in cash, R1,000, two laptops, and three mobile phones before fleeing the scene,” Sebako said.
He said that during the attack, the elderly man was assaulted and sustained a cut to the head.
“The victim was taken to the hospital, where he was treated and later discharged that same morning. We have since launched investigations to locate and arrest the suspects who are still at large,” he added.
Sebako said investigations are ongoing and no arrests have been made yet.
