A man, his wife and his grandmother were the victims of a home invasion on Tuesday afternoon in Heuweloord, Centurion.

Wierdabrug police are investigating an armed robbery during which a family living in Centurion was robbed of items to the value of R171 000.

“Three armed men entered the home of a Centurion resident around 12:45 on Tuesday,” said police spokesperson Constable Lwando Ntlebi.

Ntlebi said the resident and his family were seated in the lounge of their Heuweloord home when the armed men entered their home.

“The men entered the premises carrying two firearms,” he said.

“The man was forced to the bedroom by two of the men while the third stayed behind with the man’s wife and grandmother.

“The men then opened the safe and emptied its contents. This included jewellery, cellphones and a laptop all to the value of R171 000.”

Ntlebi said the men then fled in a white Hyundai Tucson getaway vehicle with an unknown registration number.

No arrests has been made.
