DURBAN North SAPS are looking for a four-man gang that robbed a home on Kingston Drive on Friday evening. Station spokesman, Capt Raymond Deokaran, said the suspects were in a silver VW Polo. The incident occurred at about 6.58pm.
Blue Security community and media liaison officer Andreas Mathios said the resident was expecting a client to arrive, so when the suspects rang the doorbell he assumed it was the client and opened the driveway gate.
“Four armed suspects then ran into the house and held up the resident, demanding to be shown the safe. The resident advised them that he did not have a safe. They then took the client’s son upstairs and ransacked the bedrooms, grabbing jewellery, a handbag, a cellphone, a television, a laptop and car keys before fleeing the scene. No injuries were reported,” Mathios said.
Mathios cautioned residents to be vigilant and to always make sure who is ringing the bell before opening the gate.
