WES-KAAP. – Twee vroue, onder wie ’n 94-jarige, is volgens raadslid Emre Uygun in afsonderlike huisrowe in Durbanville vasgebind. Die 94-jarige vrou is op 31 Oktober tussen 15:30 en 16:30 aangeval terwyl sy wasgoed in die agterplaas van ’n huis in Franshoekweg, Kenridge, opgehang het.
Volgens Emre Uygun, raadslid, het ’n man die bejaarde vrou glo gewurg en vasgebind voordat hy met haar selfoon op die vlug geslaan het. ’n Buurpersoon het haar gevind en gehelp. Sy is in die hospitaal vir skok behandel.
In ‘n afsonderlike voorval het vier mans op 10 November omstreeks 03:00 om ’n slapende vrou se bed in Sondalsingel, Sonstraal-Oos, gestaan toe sy wakker geword het. Hulle het glo haar hande en voete vasgebind, haar met ’n kombers bedek en haar gedwing om geld met haar selfoon deur eWallet oor te betaal. Die mans is volgens Uygun met onder meer twee televisiestelle, ’n mikrogolfoond, ’n skootrekenaar en haar selfoon in haar motor weg. Die motor is later verlate aangetref.
Uygun het ook vyf afsonderlike huisbrake in Kraaifontein, Bellville, Stellenbosch, Brackenfell en Durbanville genoem. In Mimosastraat, Durbanville, het inbrekers Maandag 9 November glo deur die dak toegang verkry en ’n kluis met ’n hoekslyper oopgesny. In drie van die ander voorvalle is toegang luidens sy verslag deur aluminiumvensters verkry.
