“When she went to investigate, he asked her for a job. When she said there was no work available, he left,” said Scottburgh Saps communications officer, Captain Adam Francis.
Shortly afterwards, the domestic worker discovered the same man inside the house.
He assaulted her before telling her to wait in one of the bedrooms.
She complied, but once inside the bedroom, she locked the door.
When she could no longer hear the man searching the house, she emerged from the room and contacted a security company.
It was later established that a television and laptop had been stolen.
Detective Constable Weidon Govender is the investigating officer and anyone with information is urged to contact him at 039-9781900, or Crime Stop at 0860010111.
