“We were alerted about a shooting and people screaming in distress on Sanderson Place. It appears that four suspects entered the family’s residence and held them up. The stolen items include cellphones, bank cards, an undisclosed amount of cash and other household appliances.
“While fleeing the scene, the suspects fired one shot with a blank as evidenced by the spent cartridge found on the scene. The scene was secured by our team and handed over to the Greenwood Park SAPS,” he said.
