“The complainant then ran back into the bathroom and shouted for help through the window. The suspects then ordered him to come outside and cooperate, which he did,”
The man and his son were then tied up with shoelaces.
The robbers asked for the victim’s car keys and then loaded items from the house into the car, a maroon Hyundai i20.
They took two TVs, two cellphones and R450 in cash. The estimated value of the stolen items is R185 850.
