Over the weekend the Kahts family, who live in Krugersdorp, woke up one evening to three heavily armed black robbers.<\/p>\n
At around midnight Karin Kahts heard a noise that sounded like an accident as they live close to a busy road, but when her husband switched on the light they were terrified finding three armed black men in their house.<\/p>\n
The robbers broke open their front gate, security gate and door to gain access to their house.<\/p>\n
They were armed with AK-47 and 9mm guns and held Kahts\u2019 20-year-old son at gunpoint as they moved through the house.<\/p>\n
Kahts tried to close her bedroom door but one of the robbers forced it open and instructed her and her husband to sit down while pointing a gun at them.<\/p>\n
\u201cSit or we\u2019ll shoot your wife,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n
One of the robbers then loaded his gun, while the others wrecked the house in search of valuable goods.<\/p>\n
The robbers demanded money and firearms from Kahts along with the keys to her husband\u2019s company bakkie, to which he refused.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne robber then hit my husband over the head with the AK-47 because he could not tell them where the bakkie\u2019s keys were,\u201d Kahts recalled.<\/p>\n
She believes the CPF radio in her husband\u2019s hand may have scared them off as they only grabbed a TV, her son\u2019s wallet and money before fleeing.<\/p>\n
They kicked the CPF radio out of her husband\u2019s hand before making their way to a dark blue getaway vehicle in which a fourth robber was waiting for them.<\/p>\n
Kahts told the Krugersdorp News she no longer feels safe in her home and the family struggles to sleep at night since the traumatic incident.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese guys are definitely professionals. They knew exactly what they were doing and were not scared to handle the guns. They also were well dressed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI honestly thought they were going to shoot me. We are so thankful to be alive and would like to thank the [white] Community Policing Forum members of Sector 9 for responding so quickly to our call-out,\u201d Kahts said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
