AN elderly couple was assaulted by three men in their 7th Avenue, Pumula home last night.
Police spokesman, Lieutenant-Colonel Zandra Wiid said the couple was preparing to go to bed at around 9pm when three men entered the house by kicking open a door and opening an unlocked security gate.
They assaulted the man before fleeing with jewellery, a firearm and a cell phone.
In a separate incident, an intruder gained entry through an unlocked door of a home in Hibberdene at 8.45pm last night.
The resident was confronted in the lounge by a man who demanded his wallet. The intruder had already taken a laptop from the table.
Lt-Col Wiid urged people to make sure their security gates and doors were kept locked at all times, and that extra security precautions be taken at night.
