House robbers attacked a 23-year-old woman in her room in Kaolin Street and kidnapped her on November 8.

The woman had stayed behind while her boyfriend went out with friends, and she went to sleep before being woken at 00:30 by someone forcing open the door.

Two masked men stormed inside, pointed a firearm at her, and demanded money before grabbing her cellphone and her boyfriend’s laptop and searching the room.

Finding no money, the intruders told the woman to keep quiet and accompany them as they walked to the back of Eden Village.

There, they met another masked man carrying a rifle and discovered a second man lying on the ground tied with wire.

The suspects tied up the woman too and questioned her about how they could get more money, to which she replied that she did not know because both her parents are unemployed.

The men eventually walked away, allowing the two victims to untie themselves and go to the Carletonville Police Station to report the incident.

Police are now investigating cases of house robbery and kidnapping.
