An Elsburg couple has been attacked and robbed in their home.<\/p>\n

Louise (58) and Roger (53) Human were accosted in their du Plessis Street home on May 7, at about 8.15pm.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Louise told the GCN that she is unsure how the four men, armed with 9mm pistols, had entered the house.<\/p>\n

“We are not sure if our daughter, Lolly (20), left the front door open when she left the house for a brief period 10 minutes before the attack, or if they managed to open the door themselves,” she said.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

“The robbers covered me with a blanket and pushed my husband around a bit, but thank God they did not hurt us.”<\/p>\n

The men then ransacked the house, taking everything, even the meat out of the freezer.<\/p>\n

Louise added that the thugs told them they were not taking their car, as it was too old.<\/p>\n

“I am really glad that my daughter was delayed at her appointment and didn’t walk back in when the men were there,” Louise said.<\/p>\n

“We want to warn the community to be careful.”<\/p>\n

Louise added that she thanked God that they were alive, as goods are replaceable but lives not.<\/p>\n
