Armed robbers strike Boundary Street home in Carletonville
A terrifying home invasion took place on the eastern side of Carletonville in the early hours of Wednesday, July 3. At approximately 01:45, a 27-year-old resident of Boundary Street, near Kaolin Street, awoke and went to the bathroom—only to come face-to-face with a group of masked intruders already inside his home. One of the robbers, who reportedly spoke isiZulu and isiXhosa, was armed, escalating the danger. The thugs also woke up the victim's cousin, who was sleeping in the house at the time. The intruders tied up both residents before ransacking the property. They fled the scene with a variety of stolen items, including cash, cellphones, laptops, clothing, and even bedding. The victims were left traumatised, but fortunately no serious injuries were reported. Police are investigating the matter, and anyone with information is urged to come forward.
