The bandits carted off jewellery, cell phones and cash. Reports indicate that two of the armed robbers surprised the family while they were socialising in the hall of their home. One of the occupants was gun-butted and within minutes the men relieved the four persons of their valuables before fleeing on foot and firing a round in the air.
