ROBBERS went on the rampage in Richards Bay in the early hours of this morning, stabbing four people in two separate house robberies in Coral Shower street in Veldenvlei.
Richards Bay police spokesperson Captain Debbie Ferreira confirmed that both incidents occurred at about 12.30am and 2.45am.
During the first attack, a 49- year-old complainant reported that he had heard noises outside the house before suspects broke into his house.
They damaged his cellphone, stole goods and jewellery and then stabbed him before escaping through the kitchen glass door.
During the second incident, which happened a few hours later, a mother, father and their daughter were stabbed and have since been hospitalised.
It is believed the suspects gained entry by throwing a cement block through the window.
Ferreira said police were still compiling statements for the second case.

THIS WILL DESTROY S.AFRICA UNLESS THE ARMY IS CALLED IN. AS I SEE IT THERE IS A RACE BETWEEN BUILDING UP THE YOUNG AFRICAN GENERATION AND REPLACING A CORUPT CRIMINAL GOVT.WITH A NEW SAFRICAN GOVT. THE CHURCHES AR FAST ASLEEP OFERING AN ESCAPE WAY TO HEAVN
THE NEXT FEW YEARS ARE CRUCIAL FOR SURVIVAL OF SAFRICA, IF WE ARE NOT TO HAV A CIVIL WAR.
Maak die lewe van al ons inwoners veilig met die toenadering van “ZERO tolerance” vir enige crime. Sny af wat pla, dis wat die Bybel ons leer!
Unless the authorities act decisively to speak out and put a stop to this culture of crime and destruction, they will be remembered for their silently supporting of the destruction of our nation on their watch, leaving behind a legacy of murder, rape, crime and corruption to their families and children. The Police should NOT tell us these are just a few more isolated incidents!
No burglar guards, no alarm system, electric fence switched off?
I look after my own security before I expect the police of the government to do it.
Are there identikits of the suspects available yet?
