An Umzinto woman (76) was with her spouse at home when an unknown man pulled open a gate and entered the house at about 2pm last Thursday (6th).
The man demanded cash from the victim, and after being told she had nothing in her possession, he grabbed the television and fled.
Scottburgh Saps communications officer, Captain Adam Francis, asks the public to ensure burglar gates and drive way gates are locked at all times as precautionary safety measures. “People must also be alert of their surroundings,” he added.
Acting branch commander of Umzinto Detective Service, Detective Warrant Officer Brian Khoza, can be contacted on 039 974650 should anyone have information regarding this house robbery.
