VIDEO: Brazen robbers carry out daylight robbery in Brenthurst
Three men robbed a house along Hofmeyer Street, Brenthurst, on Sunday, last week.

Another man then enters the garden and attempts to disable a CCTV camera in the corner of the property.
He is followed by two men, one of whom covers his face with a gloved hand.
One of the men then moves the camera from its position.
