Babysitter knifed during house robbery

While minding a one-year-old at a Wildenweide home in KwaZulu-Natal on Wednesday afternoon, a nanny was suddenly confronted by two armed robbers pointing a gun at her through a locked security gate, Zululand Observer reports.

The suspects threatened to shoot her if she did not unlock the gate.

Once opened, one of the men cut her on the arm.

She was then forced into a bedroom, where one stood guard while the other searched the house for the homeowner’s firearms.
