Three men broke into a house on a farm in Wolseley last week.
The complainant in the case was woken up by bright lights around 01:30 on Wednesday 22 March.
“She became aware that she was surrounded by three unknown men who started threatening her,” explains warrant officer Joseph Swartbooi, a spokesperson for provincial police.
Jewellery and a .38 special revolver were subsequently taken by the suspects. They also fired shots at a man who tried to approach them.
“The items were taken from a safe in the house. As the suspects were about to the leave the house, they were confronted by a man. They fired shots in his direction, but none of the bullets hit him. The suspects fled from the scene.”
According to reports, the suspects fled on foot. No one has been arrested in connection with this incident as yet. A Facebook post regarding the attack suggests it was a brother and sister who were at home at the time of the incident while their parents were away.
The Wolseley police are currently investigating a case of house robbery and attempted murder. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
