Footage has emerged of an armed attack on a Roodepoort home in January. Four men entered the property, tied up the residents and made off with valuables and a Mercedes C180. The perpetrators were caught on CCTV. Watch. 

According to Kholiwe KaMabatha's Facebook post, on Monday the 18th January 2016 she and her family were attacked by four armed men at their home in Witpoortjie, Roodepoort.   

"My brother and mother were tied, both hands and feet while lying face down and I was dragged naked in front of them as they asked me questions about where I put all the valuables in the house," she wrote. 

"They drove off with my Mercedes C180, that was later recovered by Matrix tracker at Zola Soweto Shoprite. There is an address where the car stopped before it was abandoned, and I suspect that is where they hid my stuff that they stole."
