A Hillary family survived a traumatising armed robbery when a gang of suspects invaded their home and held them up at gunpoint on 18 March 2019.
Blue Security community and media liaison officer Andreas Mathios said four armed robbers arrived in a white VW Polo and forced their way into the family’s home. The incident occurred at around 7.50pm. “The suspects forced open a door and entered the house where they held up the family at gunpoint. They forced the resident, his wife and one child into a room of the house and kept one child with them. They took the child to the lounge and pointed a firearm at him while they removed televisions from the property,” Mathios said.
“When the suspects were in the process of leaving the premises a resident arrived at the scene, disturbing them. One of the suspects fired a shot before they fled in their getaway vehicle. No injuries were reported,” Mathios said.
Bellair SAPS members attended the scene of the crime.
