The detectives in Bethal SAPS are looking for a suspect who was involved in an armed robbery case that occurred on Saturday, 30 December 2023 at about 23h00 in Kleinhans Street, Bethal.
It is alleged that on the said date, five armed African males broke into a house in Bethal on Kleinhans Street while the occupants of the house were sleeping.
The occupants were woken up, threatened, and tied up by suspects, who demanded bank cards with pin numbers.
While they robbed the occupants, the eldest daughter was taken outside by the suspect matching her facial composition and raping her before they fled the scene with money, cellphones, electrical appliances, and the family vehicle, which was later recovered.
After the incident, the police arranged with the facial identification compiler, Sergeant Lintnaar, at the Local Criminal Record Centre within the South African Police Service to compile the suspects’ facial identification to assist in tracing one of the suspects.
Facial identifications were compiled, and the police requested that the public assist them with information that could lead to the arrest of the suspects matching the facial composition by contacting Detective Warrant Officer Andre Henn on 082 579 0177.
