“The son arrived home at about 9.30pm and while he was still in his car in the driveway, a maroon BMW parked behind his car and six armed men forced him into the house,” explained Molokomme.
Molokomme said they found the victim’s parents in the house. All three were assaulted during the robbery.
“The suspects took the victim’s white VW Scirocco 2.0, jewellery, a plasma TV, two cellphones and wallet. The value of the items, including the car, is estimated at about R800 000,”said Molokomme.
“The two elderly people were treated for slight injuries on the scene and their son was taken to hospital for treatment. He has since been discharged.”
Molokomme said the stolen vehicle was recovered in the early hours of Sunday morning at the corner of Reverend RPJ Namane and Etosha streets, Tshenelong Section, Tembisa. The car was taken to the SAPS pound in Benoni and was later handed to the rightful owner.
No arrests have been made and police urge anyone with information to contact Norkem Park SAPS on 011 391 1814 or 08600 10111.
