The West Rand Trio Task Team unit has released an ID kit of a suspect believed to have been involved in a house robbery.
The incident took place on Creswell Street in Westonaria last month.
The victim, who allegedly was home alone, went outside after hearing a vehicle hooting at the gate. Two men in a VW Polo told her that they were looking for a room to rent.
She told them that she couldn’t help them and started walking towards her house, but the two men forced open the gate. She ran into the house and locked the security gate, but the intruders managed to open it and entered the house.
