House ransacked in Mackenzie Park

The incident happened at a home on Roan Street, at around 1.30am.

“The complainant alleged that while he was asleep in his house, he was woken by an unknown person who pointed a firearm at him,” said Benoni SAPS spokesperson Lieut Nomsa Sekele.

“He (the intruder) asked where the firearms and money were.”

The intruders made off with money, jewellery and appliances.

Sekele could not say whether any injuries were reported.

A case of house robbery has been opened.

No arrests had been made at the time of publication.

Sekele urged people to shut all their doors and windows, which might deter people from entering their homes.
