Witbank SAPS has launched an investigation into the house robbery.
SAPS tips to prevent house robbery:
- Stay vigilant when arriving home. Check your mirrors. If you notice a vehicle or a person following you, do not pull into your driveway. Drive to the nearest police station or a busy public area.
- Light up the entrance. Never pull into a dark driveway. Ensure your gate area is well-lit so nobody can hide in the shadows waiting for you to open up.
- Close the door behind you immediately. The moment you walk through your front door or pull into your garage, lock it behind you.
