A woman and her two brothers were arrested after they allegedly robbed her husband from their home in Motherwell on Wednesday night.
According to police spokesman Captain Gerda Swart, the 36-year-old complainant was asleep at his home in the informal settlement of Lingelethu when he was awakened by the barking of dogs shortly before 10pm.
“When he went to investigate, two men allegedly kicked open the door. His wife, his two brothers and two other unknown men allegedly began assaulting him inside the house, ”Swart said.
One of the suspects allegedly pointed a firearm at the author and threatened to shoot him. After the assault, the suspects fled the scene with a laptop and other stolen property.
Swart said Motherwell police were notified of the incident around 2 a.m. Thursday, and officers from the Port Elizabeth K9 unit followed up on information that led them to a home in Vinjiwe Crescent at Motherwell NU2.
“At the house, the agents arrested the complainant’s wife and her brothers, and the stolen goods were also recovered. The search for the two remaining suspects continues. “
The wife, 28, and her brothers, 20 and 19, are expected to appear in Motherwell Magistrates Court Thursday on a home burglary charge.
