An elderly couple from Reebok in Great Brak River has been admitted to a Mossel Bay Hospital after they were assaulted in their holiday home in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
The 65-year-old woman and her 70-year-old husband, were overpowered by three armed men at around 3am.
Their hands were tied with a telephone cord, before they were assaulted.
The suspects demanded keys for the safe while repeatedly hitting the victims with a pistol and a stick.
In the mean time a patrolling vehicle from the Great Brak River Police Station drove past the house while they were patrolling the street.
The spokesperson for the police station, Sergeant Chantel Marais, says the police members were unaware of what was happening inside.
The suspects got a fright and fled through a living room window.
The man is in a critical condition in the Bayview Hospital.
The three suspects are still at large.
