Drie rand bejaarde (82) aan
“As jy jou bek oopmaak, dan maak ons jou vrek!”
Dít is wat drie verdagtes vir die 82- jarige me. Hendrika Bezuidenhout gesê het nadat hulle by haar huis ingebreek het. Volgens Bezuidenhout, ook bekend as tannie Hennie, het sy Maandagoggend pas opgestaan toe die drie mans haar in haar huis in Smitstraat oorval het. Hulle het haar vasgebind en herhaaldelik geslaan.
Sy het aan die Herald vertel hoe die mans haar ring van haar vinger, asook haar horlosie, afgeruk het.
Bezuidenhout het tydens die aanval vir haar dogter om hulp geskree.
Haar dogter, me. Bets Botha, het op die drie verdagtes in die kamer afgekom waar hulle besig was om haar ma aan te rand.
“My dogter het vir hulle geskree om pad te gee, anders gaan sy hulle vrekmaak”, het Bezuidenhout gesê.
Die verdagtes het Botha uit die pad gestamp en weggehardloop.
“Ek het gesukkel om die aand van die voorval te slaap, maar ek is nou oor die meeste van die skok. Ek hoop net daar gebeur nooit weer so iets met my nie.”
Die polisie is onmiddellik na die toneel ontbied.
Volgens ao. Mpho Manyoba van die polisie het die voorval omstreeks 07:15 gebeur. Niemand is nog in hegtenis geneem nie en ’n saak van huisroof word ondersoek.
In ’n tweede voorval, slegs drie dae later op 15 Julie omstreeks 09:00, slegs ‘n paar blokke van waar Bezuidenhout aangerand is, is nog ’n bejaarde vrou in Kampstraat in haar huis vasgebind en aangerand. Die vrou is hospitaal toe geneem waar sy behandeling ontvang het vir beserings en skok, nadat ‘n man haar beroof het. Die verdagte is weg met haar bankkaart en kontant.
Met spertyd was meer besonderhede nog nie bekend nie.
Mooirivier Beskerming het na dié voorval alle beskikbare reaksievoertuie gebruik om na die verdagte in die omgewing te soek.

Three people assault elderly lady (82)
"If you open your mouth, then you'll die!"
This is what the three suspects said to the 82-year-old Hendrika Bezuidenhout after they broke into her home.
Bezuidenhout, also known as Aunt Hennie, had just woken up on Monday morning when three men attacked her in her home in Smith Street. They tied her up and repeatedly beat her.
She told the Herald how the men took her ring from her finger, and her watch.
Bezuidenhout screamed for help to her daughter during the attack.
Her daughter, Bets Botha, came upon the three suspects in the room down where they were assaulting her mother.
"My daughter screamed for them to leave, otherwise she would kill them" said Bezuidenhout.
The suspects shoved Botha out of the way and ran.
"I struggled to sleep the night of the incident, but now I'm over most of the shock.
I just hope something like this never happens to me again. "
Police were immediately called to the scene.
Warrant Officer. Mpho Manyoba of the police, said the incident happened at about 07:15.
Nobody has been arrested and a case of house robbery was being investigated.
In a second incident, only three days later on July 15 at 09:00, only a few blocks from where Bezuidenhout was assaulted, another elderly woman was tied up in Camp Street in her house and assaulted.
The woman was taken to hospital where she was receiving treatment for injuries and shock, after a man robbed her.
The suspect left with her bank card and cash.
At the time of publication more details were not yet known.
Mooi River Security used all available response vehicles to search for the suspect in the area after the incident.
