Robber threatens to shoot mother and daughter

A mother and her adult daughter were held at gunpoint in their home along Kranskop Road, Eastvale, by an armed robber on Monday.

Springs police spokesman Capt Johannes Ramphora says the daughter claims she heard a door open at 2.05am and felt something moving on the bed.

She jumped up and as she entered the passage she noticed a man, and started to scream.

Ramphora says the screaming woman ran to her mother’s bedroom shouting, “there is someone in the house”.

Four men entered the mother’s bedroom and demanded cash from them.

One of the robbers threatened to shoot the women.

While this man held them at gunpoint, the others searched the house.

The suspects took a wristwatch, TV and cellphones before leaving the house.

Ramphora says the victims claim the robbers jumped over the fence.

No one was injured.
