#ATTACK: Pennington pensioner attacked & stabbed at home. The burglar guard had been tampered with to gain entry

The pensioner (76) was stabbed in the face and arm


AN elderly man was stabbed and robbed in his Syringa Road,  Pennington home late last Sunday night.

The pensioner (76) was stabbed in the face and arm. He was robbed of his cellphone, wristwatch, house keys and gate remote.

He was apparently preparing to retire for the night when he spotted a stranger though the window. He heard a noise in the upstairs bedroom and went to investigate.

There he saw a man climbing in through the window. The burglar guard had been tampered with to gain entry.

Attempts by the senior citizen to push the intruder out were futile and he was attacked with a knife.

Meanwhile, two other suspects were already ransacking the lounge. The trio fled with the stolen property.

No arrests have been made at this stage and investigations continue.


Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Scottburgh SAPS Detective Service at 039 978 1900 or Crime Stop at 08600 10111. http://southcoastherald.co.za/113624/pennington-pensioner-attacked-at-home/
