Before the boy returned from school the domestic worker was busy outside when she heard a noise in the front of the premises.
Upon investigating she found a man jumping the wall into their property.
The woman tried to run into the house, but was met by another man, armed with a firearm, before she reached the back door.
“The armed man pointed his gun at the woman and ordered her to keep quiet,” says Amanda Greybe Springs police spokesman.

Both robbers pushed the woman inside the house, where she noticed a third robber in the living room.
The woman was taken to the main bedroom in the house and one of the intruders stayed with her and ordered her not to scream.
Greybe says he ransacked the bedroom and left, locked the woman inside.
During this time the woman heard the gate bell and knew it was the boy returning from school.
It is believed that one of the robbers fetched the boy at the gate and locked him up with the woman.
“When it was quiet, the woman alerted the neighbours with her screams and they came to their rescue,” says Greybe.
The suspects took two TV sets, three tablets, a cellphone and HP notebook, play station and a camera.
