DEAR Editor,-
Retired people in the Marburg area need to be vigilant. Last Sunday, there was an incident in Jacaranda Street where two thugs viciously attacked an elderly bereaved couple and their young nephew at 2.15am. They threatened the family with guns and assaulted them for money that they knew was there to pay for funeral services. It is revolting and sickening to find out that bereaved family members were victims of an armed burglary.
The SAPS needs to be mobilised and they must patrol the area effectively at night and during the early hours of the morning, when these criminals are on the prowl and target the elderly and vulnerable in the Marburg community. Please residents of Marburg, be aware and prevent these savage attacks on our precious senior citizens.
PETER
Marburg
