An 84 year-old pensioner was tied up and robbed of his personal belongings when three men ransacked his home in Greenshields Park, Port Elizabeth, during the early hours of Thursday morning.

Captain van Rensburg says the man was awoken to noises in his house in the methodist old age home in Pheasant Street just after one am.

Three men had gained access to his house.

They assaulted the old man and tied his hands behind his back before throwing a blanket over him.

The robbers then ransacked the property and fled with a number of household goods including a television set, cellphone, tablet and jewellery.

The suspects also took the victim's wallet, a number of old coins and liquor before fleeing.

No arrests have been made and anyone with information is asked to contact the Walmer Police.
