CHARGES of kidnapping and house robbery have been registered for investigation following the abduction at gunpoint of two brothers from their Amandawe home on April 23.
The brothers, aged 30 and 43, had been watching television when there was a knock at the door at around 10pm.
Three men entered the home – one of them armed with a gun. “They ordered the brothers to lie on the floor while they searched the house and took cellphones, a laptop, electronic tablet, electronic notebook, a wallet with money and bank cards and ID documents,” said Scottburgh Saps communications officer, Captain Vincent Pandarum.

They then took the brothers out to their bakkie and ordered them to lie on the floor of the bin. One then fired a shot. They left the property in the stolen bakkie, with one of the robbers keeping watch over the brothers in the back.
“The victims were dropped off at Inkwali in the Umkomaas area and the robbers abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot with the other stolen property,” said Captain Pandarum.
The vehicle was later recovered by police.
