Family robbed at home

A family was robbed of their cars and household goods by six armed men in Vereeniging last night.

Police spokesman Captain Shado Mashobane said the family of three were watching television at around 9.30 pm, when the men came into the house and demanded money and the family's car keys.

"When the man tried to resist, they hit him with a firearm on the head," said Mashobane. The man was treated for the wound on his head.

The robbers fled with the family's Ford Focus and Toyota double cab bakkie and some electrical equipment.

"The Ford Focus was later recovered in Naledi in Soweto, where it was abandoned," said Mashobane. He said the vehicle was fitted with a tracker.

"No suspects have been arrested," he said.

Mashobane said it was not known how the gang gained access to the house. No one else was injured in the robbery.
