Jeffreys Bay police are searching for three men following a home-invasion in Aston Bay early on Thursday morning in which shots were also fired.
Police spokesperson, Captain Gerda Swart, said a 67-year-old woman stabbed in the hand when she was involved in a scuffle with one of the suspects.
“Her son came to assist her and they were ordered by the suspects to go to the bedroom where they searched the safe. The suspects took jewellery, a revolver, laptop, and cell phones,” she said.
Swart said the suspects then left the family in the bedroom and continued to search the rest of the house. “One of the suspects allegedly returned with the revolver and the complainant's husband, who also had a firearm hidden in the bedroom, fired two shots through the bedroom door”.
She said the suspects fled the scene with some of the stolen items, some of which were later recovered in the yard.
Swart said police are appealing to Second-Hand Dealers to be alert to anyone trying sell jewellery or electronic equipment and to notify SAPS immediately.
