The incident occurred at a property on Plover Street, at around 7pm.
Benoni SAPS spokesperson Lieut Nomsa Sekele said the complainant and his wife were at home, as the couple was expecting visitors.
“He went outside to check if they had arrived and, as he opened the gate, he was approached by three men, all of whom were armed,” said Sekele.
“They pointed a firearm at him and demanded cash.”
The gunmen escorted the man into the house and, according to Sekele, “dragged his wife out of bed”.
The spokesperson said the robbers demanded money and ransacked the house to find it, after being dissatisfied with the amount given to them by the male victim.
The man was assaulted with the butt of a gun.
Sekele said the men fled from the home when the doorbell rang.
They made off in a white Mercedes Benz with cash and jewellery.
A case of house robbery has been opened and, at the time of publication, no arrests had been made.
