She ran into the kitchen, but the suspect grabbed her and asked if there was a safe in the house.
The victim took the suspect to the main room, where another suspect was going through the cupboards.
After the safe was unlocked, the suspects took the jewellery from inside.
She was then taken to the lounge where she was covered with a blanket and she could hear the two suspects speaking to a third suspect outside the house.
She was then moved to the laundry room where the suspects closed the door and told her to count to 50 before coming out.
After a while, the victim left the laundry room and ran to the neighbours opposite her house to get help, but found nobody home.
