Armed robbers strike again

Two robbers leisurely helped themselves to the belongings of a 66-year-old Dalpark Extension Six woman, on Friday, last week, after storming into her home and locking her in a bedroom.

The woman and a male friend were in the lounge of her Silverbush Crescent home, when the men, both of whom were wearing rubber gloves and brandishing firearms, walked into the house at about 3.30pm.

They pointed guns at the pair and forced them into a bedroom, where they were robbed of their jewellery and cellphones.

The robbers then locked the door and made their way through the house, taking the time to search each room.

In addition to the cellphones and jewellery, the robbers made off with a television set, microwave oven and the woman’s car.

They loaded the stolen items into her grey Renault (model unknown) and fled the scene.

Cases of house robbery and theft of a motor vehicle have been opened at the Brakpan Police Station.

The Herald reported in last week’s edition how a domestic worker and group of women were terrorised by armed thugs in two house robberies, on Friday, February 7.
