A 49-year-old woman was accosted in the shower by two suspects during a home invasion at her home on Maple Drive in Trenance Park – KZN.
Members of Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) were called out to the residence at approximately 08:13. On arrival, it was established that between five and eight armed suspects stormed into the property and held up four people aged between thirteen and sixty-nine. Two suspects proceeded to the upper level of the house where they discovered a female in the shower. She was asked to cover herself with a towel.
The suspects demanded valuables and assaulted a 69 year old woman on her chest with the butt of a firearm due to her delaying in removing her gold earrings. They stole cash, cellphones, jewelry and keys to a Nissan Sentra that was parked on the property before they sped off in champagne Toyota Etios (registration unknown).
The 69-year-old female received First Aid on the scene and did not require further medical intervention.
