“While doing so they were surprised by two men who forced them at gunpoint to lie on the floor, tied them up and covered them with a duvet. One then ransacked the house while the other was guarding the door. One of the men also forcefully removed a ring from the man’s finger, causing injuries,” said Lt-Col Wiid.
The intruders fled taking jewellery, clothing, food, a laptop, handbag and a wallet. A house robbery case was opened at Port Shepstone police station. No arrests have been made.
In a separate incident, four men armed with knives entered a clothing store on Nelson Mandela Drive, Port Shepstone, last Wednesday.
