Middelburg Mpumalanga – Ms. Mienie Kruger (79) was stunned last Thursday when she got up and realize that there is “too much light” shining from her garage into the apartment. She went to investigate. She saw that her electric garage door was wide open.
She checked if everything was okay with her vehicle, but there were no broken windows or any sign of something stolen.
Back at the apartment she made coffee for herself and walked back to her living room. A shocking discovery awaited her. “The TV cabinet doors were open and only the black hole where the TV was remained.”
Ms. Kruger realized that there was a burglar in her house while she slept and immediately called the police.
The police were still working to take her statement, when Ms. Kruger jumped up and rushed to her kitchen. In the kitchen she left one of her old phones, a ring and a watch. Only then did she realize that the robber also took her ring and watch. The phone was simply left as it was.
“The watch has great sentimental value because my husband bought it for me before he died 15 years ago.”
The burglary took place at Malin Apartments in Gholfsig and there was another robbery that night. “They broke in to another garage at the apartments. During this break in a vehicle’s window was smashed and a car radio was stolen.
