Robbers invade elderly woman’s home in Dan Pienaarville
A local security firm released their latest crime stats which involved an elderly woman being overpowered and robbed.
An elderly woman and homeowner in Dan Pienaarville was robbed of her belongings last week.
Mapogo A Mathamaga operations manager Danie Vermeulen said it was one of two serious incidents to have been reported in the Mogale City area recently.
Vermeulen said the incident took place at about 13:25 when the house was up for sale.
“Perpetrators persuaded the homeowner to open her gate and upon entering her home, they overpowered her and went on to steal jewellery, wallets, bank cards, and other house items before fleeing from the scene,” Vermeulen said.
At 03:25 on September 26, Vermeulen revealed that a local business situated on Commissioner Street in the CBD was also being broken into.
“Criminals allegedly gained entry through the roof and stole various items at the premises, including cellphones. They did, however, flee as soon as reaction units arrived. Items would later be recovered.”
