Armed thugs kidnap Khutsong man after violent house robbery
Carletonville police are investigating charges of house robbery, kidnapping, and extortion.
A house robbery and kidnapping took place at Khutsong Extension 5 this week.
A couple from the 60’s at Khutsong Extension 5 were asleep in their home on Saturday, November 8.
They were woken up by a loud noise at 01:30 and realised that thugs were kicking their door down. Two men rushed into the home.
The thugs, who spoke Sesotho, were armed, and they pointed their firearms at the couple, demanding money and cellphones.
They grabbed the husband (48) and forced him with them into the veld behind Extension 5, where they met their two accomplices.
They demanded a large ransom for his safe release, but the husband explained that he did not have this money.
They covered the husband’s head, but after some time, he realised that he was alone and that the kidnappers had left. He then walked back to his home.
The police in Carletonville are investigating house robbery, kidnapping, and extortion charges following the incident.
