A Van Riebeeck Park mother and her 15-year-old son locked themselves in a bedroom when three men, one armed, entered their Blouborsie Street home on Tuesday.
Capt Lesibana Molokomme, spokesperson for Norkem Park SAPS, said three men jumped over the wall just after noon, where they found a domestic worker taking washing off the line.

“While one suspect stayed outside with the worker, the two others entered the house. Realising something was wrong, the mother and son locked themselves in the room,” Molokomme said.
The men took a plasma TV before fleeing.
