Pensioners fall victim to armed robbers

The incidents took place in Melville and Pumula.

A MAN and a woman were attacked and robbed in two separate incidents at their residences on Tuesday this week.

A 66-year-old woman was woken up at about 11pm, when two men armed with firearms entered into her tent at a caravan park in Melville.

“The woman was held at gunpoint and was forced to hand over her laptop, a handbag and a purse with cash, ID and bank cards,” said Lieutenant-Colonel Zandra Wiid. “The gunmen fled without harming her,” she said.

In the second incident a 66-year-old Pumula man was awoken by his dogs barking. “Two men, one carrying a firearm, confronted him and demanded money. They fled with a flat screen tv, cellphone and a sports bag,” said Lt-Col Wiid. Police are investigating two house robbery cases. No arrests have been made.
