Gya: $1M stolen from families by gunmen

Fifteen gunmen beat and robbed two families in Lusignan on Friday night carting off $1M in cash and jewellery that they said they needed to replenish their armoury.

The attacks, which occurred days after bandits raided several shops in Betervwagting, have residents afraid with some thinking about moving out.

Some time around 7:20 pm, the gunmen stormed into the home of Zarina Singh at 13-14 Lusignan, Railway Embankment and spent close to 2 hours terrorising the family before leaving.

Singh recalled that she was watching television with the family and a few neighbours. The door was open and everyone was relaxing when five armed men barged in and demanded cash. Singh said one bandit walked up to her and struck her in the head with his gun after she denied having any money.

The men then ransacked the home and found cash. Not satisfied with the amount they bound Singh and the entire household with rope and cloth and put a beating on them. Singh said the children were not harmed.

She and her family members yesterday showed several cuts from the beating.

The men kept asking and out of fear Singh sent them to her daughter's apartment that is attached to her home. Three of the men left and returned with money and jewellery.

I can't help but wonder, have these people ever heard of banks?
