Armed robbers wreak havoc in three different incidents in Verulam

Members of Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) responded to three Trio Crimes that occurred within 15 minutes of each other in Verulam – KZN.

Incident One: Famingo Way – Dawncrest
At approximately 07:14, Reaction Officers were dispatched to Flamingo Way in Dawncrest after receiving reports of an attempted hijacking. On arrival, it was established that two armed suspects entered the yard and attempted to hijack a white VW Polo. They fled empty handed after the victim called out for assistance.

Incident Two: Madrona Drive – Trenance Park
While fleeing the scene of the attempted hijacking, the same suspects in a brown Suzuki Ertiga (registration unknown) confronted a 44 year old female outside her residence on Madrona Drive in Trenance Park at approximately 07:29. They demanded that she return into the residence. The incident attracted the attention of neighbours. The robbers abandoned the home invasion, but robbed the female of her jewellery before they sped off in their getaway vehicle.

Incident Three: Cinamon Place – Trenance Park
The gang thereafter proceeded to a residence on Cinamon Place and held up an 88 year old female. The elderly female was deprived of jewellery that she was wearing. The robbers ransacked the home and made off with a 32 inch Sinotec TV, a wi-fi router and other household items.

No injuries were reported in any of the incidents.
