Residents were tied up and a vehicle stolen during a house robbery in Cederberg Street, Finsbury over the weekend.
Mapogo A Mathamaga’s operations manager Danie Vermeulen confirmed the incident occurred on November 12 and said perpetrators gained entrance to the residential property by jumping over a perimeter wall.
“The perpetrators entered the house through a door that was not locked. They were armed and continued to tie up an unknown number of residents and then proceeded to steal a Toyota Tazz. They also stole a flat-screen TV and several jewellery items,” said Vermeulen, who added that the vehicle was later recovered by a tracking company.
Meanwhile, the security company also responded to an attempted break-in at a business in 1st Street, Randfontein CBD on November 10.
“Perpetrators attempted to gain entry to the business property by forcing open a gate but they did not succeed.”
