The police are on a manhunt, after two offenders stormed into a house on the Vlakplaas smallholding and raped a woman in the early hours of Sunday morning, police said.
Spokesperson Constable Tumisang Moloto said a woman was raped when two men broke into her house on Sunday. “It is believed the men broke into the house at about 02:45 and found the 31-year-old woman sleeping in her bedroom. They pointed a firearm at her and ordered her to undress. One man raped her and thereafter they took her Blackberry cellphone, clothing and jewellery and fled the scene. The items are estimated to a value of R5 000,” he said.
A case of house robbery and rape was opened at Erasmia police for investigation. No arrests have been made.
“We appeal to the public or any person with information that can lead to the arrest of the perpetrators to contact their nearest police station or Crime Stop on 08600 10111,” Moloto said.
