A Matroosfonetin woman was held up with a bottle neck during a robbery at her home on Monday (15 May). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elsies River police spokesperson, Captain Daphne O\u2019Reilly, says shortly after 11:30 the 32-year-old woman was drying her baby in her house in Commercial Road, when she saw an unknown man inside her bedroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe man was holding a broken bottle neck and threatened the woman saying he was going to kill her. He allowed her to finish drying the baby and picked up a knife in the house and threw the bottle neck in the toilet.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
O\u2019Reilly says the man then took various valuables including cash, laptops, cellphones, jewellery and even the baby\u2019s nappies before jumping through the window and fleeing the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have any information, call Elsies River Police Station on 021 928 1400. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
