Net die afgelope maand alleen was daar reeds twee gewelddadige huisrooftogte in die eens rustige maar vinnig uitbreidende St Helenabaai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die nuutste neiging is om mense tussen middernag en dagbreek in hul huise te oorval en te beroof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir die 40-jarige seun van \u2019n bejaarde egpaar, wat die afgelope naweek in hul huis in St. Helenabaai aangerand en beroof is, het die bebloede toneel waarop hy afgekom het, hom aan \u2019n plaasaanval herinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy ouers is Vrydag (22 Maart) omstreeks 02:30 in hul slaapkamer oorval nadat ses rowers met klapmusse aan \u2019n venster oopgedwing het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hul bed was n\u00e1 die tyd vol bloed omdat die rowers bykans onmiddellik die 67-jarige man met skroewedraaiers begin steek het \u2013 op sy knie\u00eb en hande; oral waar hulle kon bykom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle wou dadelik die egpaar se selfone h\u00ea en het hulle gedwing om vir hulle die nodige inligting te gee om die selfone oop te sluit en daarna het hulle aangedring op die PIN-nommers vir die banktoepassings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die man en sy 66-jarige vrou se hande en voete is vasgebind met geskeurde lakens en wat die rowers ook al in die hande kon kry. Hul monde is ook toegestop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die rowers het die egpaar vir sowat twee en \u2019n half uur gemartel voordat hulle die gesteelde items geneem, uit die huis en oor die heining gevlug het \u2013 vermoedelik na \u2019n wagtende wegkommotor waarmee hulle na alle aanduidings reguit Kaapstad toe is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die vrou het haar met haar vasgebinde hande en voete tot buite gewikkel, maar weens die wind het die bure eers sowat 07:00 die oggend haar noodkrete gehoor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die seun vertel dat die wind di\u00e9 nag verskriklik gewaai het en dit was ook mistig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die man het met steekwonde oor sy hele lyf tot in die sitkamer aangesukkel, ook steeds met hande en voete styf vasgebind. Sy seun, hul bure en die polisie het hom daar gekry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die egpaar is na die Life Weskus-private hospitaal se ongevalle-afdeling geneem waar hul wonde behandel is. Hoewel die egpaar die aand ontslaan is, wag daar nog vele opvolgbesoeke vir die man en ook moontlike operasies om die skade aan sy een hand en neus te herstel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die familie wou nie hul name genoem h\u00ea nie, maar het met Weslander<\/span><\/em>oor die voorval gepraat om die bre\u00eb St Helenabaai-gemeenskap oor die gewelddadigheid van die aanval in te lig.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Kapt. Tania Helfrich, \u2019n woordvoerder vir die Weskus-polisiedistrik, het die voorval bevestig en ges\u00ea die rowers het met elektroniese toerusting, juweliersware, selfone en al die man se vuurwapens wat in die kluis toegesluit was, gevlug. Sy het benadruk dat inwoners van St. Helenabaai waaksaam sal moet wees, en verwys na nog \u2019n voorval die afgelope maand wat in die nag tussen Donderdag 29 Februarie en Vrydag 1 Maart plaasgevind het. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Drie onbekende rowers het \u2019n slapende 53-jarige man in sy slaapkamer oorval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hulle was met messe bewapen en het hom eers vasgebind en toe met die messe gedwing om sy bankkaart se PIN-nommers vir hulle te gee. Hy is ook gedwing om geld per e-wallet <\/em>oor te plaas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die rowers het met onder meer sy twee selfone, \u2019n skootrekenaar en voertuigsleutels gevlug. Die sleutels is egter later in die tuin gekry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In nog voorvalle is \u2019n 27-jarige man se vuurwapen, geld en selfone uit \u2019n huis gesteel op Sondag 10 Maart terwyl hy geslaap het. Dieselfde nag is binne loopafstand by \u2019n huis in die buurt langsaan ingebreek en onder andere \u2019n grootskermtelevisie en skootrekenaar buitgemaak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vroegoggend Sondag 3 Maart is by \u2019n 47-jarige man se huis ingebreek. Toe die man die inbreker in die huis gewaar, het die skurk \u2019n skootrekenaar gegryp en weggehardloop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Helfrich maan inwoners om hul veiligheidsmaatre\u00ebls te verskerp en op die uitkyk vir vreemdelinge in die buurt te wees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Net die afgelope maand alleen was daar reeds twee gewelddadige huisrooftogte in die eens rustige maar
