Two women and a man were supposedly viewing a house in Elsburg recently, when they robbed the owner and stole his property.<\/p>\n

WO Andr\u00e9 de Jager, communications officer for the Germiston SAPS, informed the GCN that the three posed as potential property buyers to gain access to the house.<\/p>

“The owner allowed them to have a look at the house and, while they were going through it, they asked if it had a safe and if they could have a look at it,” said de Jager.<\/p>\n

“The owner allegedly showed them his safe and, moments later, they produced a firearm and pointed it at the owner and other people who were inside the house.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

“All the victims were then tied up.<\/p>\n

“The robbers ran off with Kruger Rands worth R1-million, two firearms, two Blackberry cellphones, bank cards and R5 200 in cash,” said de Jager.<\/p>\n

No shots were fired and the police are still looking for the robbers.<\/p>\n

“The Germiston SAPS want to warn the public to be on the lookout for people using this modus operandi to gain access to property,” said de Jager.<\/p>\n
