A manhunt has been launched for three men following a robbery and assault at a farm in the Helpmekaar area this morning.

Details remain limited at this stage. However, co-ordinators from the Dundee Safety Group, who asked not to be named, said the suspects threatened occupants inside the house before fleeing with cash and an airgun.

Joint search operation underway

The trio reportedly escaped into dense, overgrown bush behind the property.

Farmers, private security companies and the South African Police Service have launched a joint operation to track down the attackers.

Investigations are ongoing.
