NATIONAL NEWS - Seven men have been arrested in connection with a farm attack incident that took place at Manderston Dairy Farm, in the Thornville area in KZN.
According to Magma Investigation Team owner Shaheen Suleiman, it is alleged that two weeks ago, a man and his family were attacked in their homestead at the farm.
Suleiman said the family was severely assaulted and threatened by six armed suspects.
“Suspects robbed the family of personal belongings and also made off with a safe containing three rifles, cash and bank cards.”
He said two days later, the team initiated an investigation into the matter and, according to him, they made a breakthrough in the case on Friday.
He said Thornville detectives and Magma members engaged in an operation where seven suspects were arrested.
They recovered three rifles, two chainsaws, clothing, approximately R7 000 worth of liquor purchased with the stolen bank card and one rifle safe, said Suleiman.
Suleiman added that a Volkswagen Jetta that was used by the suspects during the robbery was also found as well as seven cellphones, adding that all the exhibits and suspects were handed over to Thornville SAPS.
The investigation is ongoing, said Suleiman.
