Woman surprised by three robbers

Three robbers surprised a woman in her house in Bakerton this morning (May 20).

The 32-year-old woman was awakened by the men at 3am in her house along Osprey Street.

Two of the robbers were armed with a knife and an axe, and tied the woman up with a pillowcase.

Springs police spokesman Capt Johannes Ramphora says the suspects gained entry through a window in the lounge.

The robbers took two cellphones, a flat screen TV, jewellery, blankets and shoes.

Ramphora says the value of the stolen items is approximately R30 000.

The robbers ordered the woman to hand over her house keys so they could leave the home with the stolen goods.

No one was injured.
