The police were on Wednesday still searching for four suspects who are wanted for armed and house robbery in Heuweloord.
According to the police, two people were robbed in separate incidents, one on Sunday morning and another on Tuesday.
Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Ilze Jones said in the first incident two males entered the Heuweloord community centre at around 01:40 and pointed a firearm at the victim before taking his laptop, car keys and wallet. Jones confirmed that a case of armed robbery with a firearm has been opened for investigation. She further said it is not known what the victim was doing at the community centre at that time of the morning.
In the second incident, two men entered a house on Apiesdoring Street at around 2:00 and found a 23-year-old man sleeping in his bedroom and tied him up with shoelaces. According to Captain Bonginkosi Msimango, the men were armed with a knife and a crowbar and searched the house while the victim was left in the lounge. Msimango further said the suspects then fled with a television, DVD player, jewellery, computer, kettle, cell phone and clothes.
