An armed robbery, at a house in Selcourt, took place last Thursday.
The complainant, who was employed as a domestic worker at the address, was busy sweeping when two suspects assailed her with firearms.
The first suspect pointed a firearm at her and told her to remain quiet as they were there to “work”.
The suspect then noticed a painter who fled after he was ordered by the suspect to enter the house.
The first suspect failed to catch the painter who was able to make a phone call and alert the owner of the house of the robbery.

The second suspect came back into the house.
He took two Galaxy tablets valued at R4 200, and fled the scene.
A neighbour alleges that the suspects drove off with a third suspect in a white or silver sedan, make unknown.
The suspects wore bandanas and their identities remain unknown.
The suspects were able to gain entry to the premises by forcing open one of the palisades.
No shots were fired and nobody was injured.
