Robbers gets taste of their idiocy

Three armed robbers got more than they bargained for when a mob apprehended them less than a kilometre from the place they had staged a robbery on Thursday night. The thugs had broken into a lodge in Tlokweng where they robbed two lodgers, using violence.

"They removed the precast units from the back wall, then cut the inside mesh wire with pliers. My colleague was doing the rounds when the robbers  - seven in all and armed with machetes and crowbars - pounced on him. They tied his hands and feet and placed him on top of a manhole. While one of them placed a rough smelly boot on his neck, they took turns punching him. They wanted him to show them where some white people were lodging as they had information that the whites had money," said a security guard based at the lodge.  Somehow the robbers must have known that the lodgers they were looking for occupied a unit at the centre of the lodge as they went past all the other chalets to one in the middle of the compound.

One of the robbers managed to open the bathroom window to one of the units in the two-roomed chalet.
