accreditation

Twenty-nine people, including 17 children, were attacked by three robbers during a braai at a house in Linden, Johannesburg at the weekend. One of the residents, Hans Somsen, published footage of the incident which was caught on their CCTV cameras. Watch. 

The incident occurred on Saturday, Netwerk24 reported. The robbers took cellphones, laptops and jewellery.

“The men slipped in when my oldest son closed the electric gate behind some guests,” said Hans' wife Riana on Sunday. “The three men held up three guests in the driveway who had just arrived.”

Their eight-year-old son was also one of those made to lie flat on the ground. Most guests had no idea what was going on in the driveway.
