A woman is recovering in hospital after she was shot. The police said four suspects pounced on family members who were preparing for a braai in Buffelsfonteing, near Brits recently.

North West police spokesperson, Sergeant Kealeboga Molale said the police are investigating a case of house robbery.

 

“The victim and her family were preparing for a braai when they were attacked by a group of four men. The men apparently jumped over precast wall to gain entrance in the yard. The suspects shot the victim once on the hip and robbed the other people of their personal valuables including cell phones. They then drove-off in the family’s Toyota Hilux which was parked in the yard,” Molale said.

 

The victim was rushed to the nearby hospital with a single gunshot wound where she is currently receiving medical attention.  Molale said the car was found abandoned about 500m from the scene and no arrests have been made yet.
