An Amanzimtoti couple escaped a home invasion unharmed at the weekend after robbers broke into their house, cooked meat and had a meal before leaving.
Blue Security community and media liaison officer, Andreas Mathios said the couple was sitting in the lounge at about 10.45pm on Friday, 17 November when a gang of four men forced open the kitchen door and stormed into their Burne Road home.
“The gang tied up the couple and proceeded to ransack the property in search of valuables. They grabbed a safe, firearms, televisions, jewellery, cellphones, wine and a wallet containing cash which they loaded into their getaway vehicle,” said Mathios.
“The suspects took meat out of the couple’s freezer, cooked it and ate the meal before fleeing the scene.” Mathios said the couple was unharmed and declined crisis counselling. Amanzimtoti SAPS attended the scene of the crime.
