Constable Mpho Mashakane, the Cleveland SAPS communications officer, said police officers were patrolling the suburb on May 18 when they received a call about a house robbery.
“They went to the address in Marcia Street that was provided and they found the helper screaming. She said there was a robbery in the house,” said Const Mashakane.
The police officers went into the house and searched for the suspects.
“They saw blood on the floor and one of the rooms was locked. They broke the door down and found the owner of the house lying in a pool of blood. She had been badly injured and could not talk. An ambulance was called and she was taken to hospital,” said Const Mashakane.
The suspects fled with cellular phones and jewellery.
Detectives followed up on information and arrested a man (29). He was linked to the house robbery.
