Two robbers targeting homes
Allegedly the suspect threatened the homeowner with a knife and the other suspect started to remove items from the house
Two homes were robbed by two suspects on the same day.
A house in Nuweland Street was robbed at about 03:30 on Tuesday, June 2.
It is alleged by the owner that she was awoken by a loud bang that came from the bathroom.
“After I woke up I saw a man standing in my bedroom,” the victim explained.
Allegedly the suspect threatened the homeowner with a knife and the other suspect started to remove items from the house.
Two Hisense televisions, a Samsung computer monitor, two HP laptops and a Huawei phone were taken.
On the same day, at about 03:00 a man was in his house watching television when two robbers also made their arrival.
“As I was watching TV I could hear something by the door. I immediately thought that it was someone trying to gain entrance into my house,” the man explained.
Allegedly the homeowner saw that there were two suspects and he grabbed a stick to try and defend himself.
“I asked them to leave but they overpowered me and one threw a brick at me,” he further told.
The suspects managed to get away with a laptop, a watch, and a Huawei phone.
Cases have been opened at the Witbank Police Station and police are investigating.
