In addition, in the Dennilton policing area outside Groblesdal, a victim was seated in his car with his girlfriend when four armed men attacked them.
Police spokesperson Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe says the suspects hijacked their BMW 3 series, which was later found abandoned a distance away from the crime scene.
“Fighting crime is everybody’s business and the community should play their role in ensuring their personal and property safety at all times. These lovers spots are generating unnecessary and avoidable crimes which should stop abruptly.” Ngoepe explained.
