Police detectives are investigating a house robbery case that took place on 14 August at 1am in Ext 9 Tsutsumani, Alexandra.
Spokesperson for the Alexandra Police Station Sergeant Simphiwe Mbatha said the complainant said she was asleep in her room when she heard someone at the door and then saw two men enter her bedroom. One of the suspects allegedly had a firearm.
Mbatha said, according to the complainant, the suspects allegedly demanded money, a cell phone, her son’s cell phone, takkies worth R700 and R800 in cash. “One suspect hit her on the right leg with a pick head. They also demanded car keys. When she told them she did not have car keys, they threatened to shoot her son if she did not give them the keys,” explained Mbatha.
