Woman and teen fall prey to house robbers
The robbers searched the house and fled with two TVs, a gaming console and a laptop.
A woman and a 17-year-old girl were terrorised by three men during a house robbery in Leachville last Wednesday.
According to police reports, the robbers gained access to the Wilgerivier Avenue home at 09:45.
One of the men had been at the house earlier that morning and asked to speak to the owner, who is the woman’s employer.
The woman told him he was at work and the man left in a silver vehicle. Later, while the woman was outside, she saw the man had returned. He greeted her and then pushed her inside the house.

He asked the whereabouts of the teenager, who was in her bedroom and then threatened to kill the woman if she made any sound.
The man was joined by two others and the woman and the teenager were rounded up and taken to another room, where they were forced to lie on a bed.
The robbers searched the house and fled with two TVs, a gaming console and a laptop.
It is believed they were left unarmed. Once they had left the house, the teenager alerted her father.
