A woman was burned with melted plastic during a house robbery on Trevennen Road in Lotusville, KZN, on Sunday night. According to Prem Balram, spokesperson for Reaction Unit South Africa (Rusa), members of Rusa responded to the scene at just after 11 pm after receiving a call for assistance. According to the complainant, he and his wife were asleep when he heard a knock on the door around 9: 20 pm.
Believing it was another tenant on the property, he opened the door. Two armed suspects then forced their way inside and began assaulting the couple while demanding valuables. The attackers melted plastic and used it to burn the woman in an attempt to force her to reveal the location of money.
Balram said the couple was robbed of two cellphones, a Huawei P10 and a Samsung A05, a flat-screen television, a Sony radio, and about R2,000 in cash. They were then tied up with rope and locked inside their room. “The suspects proceeded to a neighbouring room, where they confronted another male occupant.
