The group of suspects is unknown and no arrests have been made.
Police warned the community again not to take the law into their own hands.
As previously stated by spokesperson for Witbank Police Station, Capt Eddie Hall, a member of the community is allowed to detain a suspect caught in the act of a crime, but must then hand the suspect over to authorities for prosecution.
