TWO men were arrested after they allegedly robbed a domestic worker at knife-point on Peto Road in Umgeni Park this morning.
It is believed the men are linked to a recent spate of robberies in the north Durban suburbs said spokesperson for Marshall Security, Kyle Van Reenen.
He said the men were travelling in a silver BMW when they approached a domestic worker who was on her way to work.
“They held her up at knife-point and robbed her of her belongings, before fleeing in an unknown direction,” he added.
The suspects were later arrested and handed over to SAPS.

The vehicle was brought to a stop at the intersection of Kenneth Kaunda and Swapo roads where two suspects were apprehended,” said Van Reenen.
He added that the arrest came after the men were found in possession of items stolen from the domestic worker in Peto Road as well as various other items.
“A further search of the vehicle conducted by the SAPS revealed a knife, believed to be the one used to commit the robberies,” he said.Â
