Four armed black men invaded the home of Mr Botha Burger and his wife Adele at 3am on July 22 2010, dragged their two young sons Christiaan, 12 and Jan-Harm, 10, from their beds, and tied them up with their parents while their home was looted of some electronic bling and jewellery. http://www.potchefstroomherald.co.za/top10.htm#30
The family home was looted and the bling – including a TV set, two cameras, a laptop computer, cellphones and jewellery – was loaded onto the family bakkie and the gang drove off. When things quieted down Jan-Harm screamed for help through the open bathroom window to their housekeeper, who lives on the same erf but had somehow not noticed anything untowards whatsoever. She cut them loose and Mr Burger used the housekeeper’s cellphone to contact their security company. His bakkie was found abandoned alongside the road to Parys. Apparently the gang had gained access to the house by bending the burglar-bars in front of the livingroom windows. Another house-robbery als was reported the same week when a resident discovered that a window had been forced open and his TV set stolen. No-one was arrested in either case. http://www.potchefstroomherald.co.za/top10.htm#30
