House robbers again struck in our area this week.

The owner of the house looked through a window to see what was going on. As he did this, he looked straight into a masked robber wielding a gun.

“Open the door, otherwise we will kill your wife and children,” the robber threatened.The thugs, three Sotho-speaking men wielding two handguns and a rifle, then stormed into the home.

They were masked with balaclavas.
