Armed gang pose as contractors, storm Glenashley home
The domestic worker was assaulted during the robbery.
DURBAN North SAPS has urged residents to be wary of criminals posing as contractors. This comes after an armed gang stormed a Marion Avenue home just after 2pm on Friday afternoon. The four suspects were armed with handguns. According to Capt Raymond Deokaran, spokesman for the Durban North SAPS, said the men also assaulted the domestic worker.
“The men hooted at the gate and told the domestic worker they were contractors. When she let them in, one of the suspects grabbed her and used the butt of the pistol to hit her in her ribs. He also slapped her several times and took her to one of the rooms. The men made off with jewellery, shoes and watches.
“We traced the number plates of the vehicle that was used, a silver Golf, which came up matching a different vehicle. They had used cloned number plates. We are urging residents to inform their domestic workers not to let anyone in regardless of what they tell you,” he said.
