Four suspects held up a family in their home on Temple Road in Tongaat, KZN earlier today (Wednesday).
The Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) Tongaat Operations Center received a call from a resident in the area at approximately 11:44 reporting the robbery. On arrival, Reaction Officers were informed that one suspect approached one of the victim’s who runs a steel fabrication business on the property. He inquired about the price of a security gate before he produced a firearm and forced the man into the house.
The suspect was joined by three accomplices who rounded up the family of five and asked them to lie on the living room floor. They then used pieces of a bed sheet to restrain the victims. The robbers then ransacked the residence and stole a computer, an undisclosed amount of cash, jewellery and cellphones which were loaded into a white unknown vehicle. The victim’s which included a 63-year-old male managed to free themselves and sought assistance from neighbours.
No injuries were reported.
