Jouberton- North West police arrested a 20-year-old male suspect for house robbery and rape committed on Saturday at around 02:00am.
“It is alleged that the complainant was asleep inside her house when she heard somebody knocking at the door. It is alleged that the complainant did not respond and two suspects forced entry into the house” colonel Sabata Mokgwabone said.
The suspects allegedly threatened her with a knife and forcefully raped and robbed her cash and cellphone before fleeing the scene. One of the suspects was successfully traced and arrested later.
The police are still looking for the second suspect.
The arrested suspect is due to appear in Klerksdorp Magistrates’ Court soon to face a charge of rape and house robbery.
