Members of the South African Police Service at Waterval Boven are looking for six suspects who robbed a house at a farm in the early hours of Sunday 14 April 2019. The owner, a 72 year old man, was home alone sleeping when he was awoken by the men, who were balaclava clad, with two of them armed with firearms. They reportedly requested him to give them money and firearms to which he said he did not have any. They threatened and tied him up before searching the house, taking an undisclosed amount of cash from the safe as well as a .38 special revolver as well as other property before fleeing the scene on foot.

No arrest has been made as yet, police are making an earnest appeal to anyone who may know the whereabouts or identity of the suspects to contact Warrant Officer Raymond Mamaila at 072 023 1542 or the SAPS Crime Stop number, 08600 10111.
