A Merebank Crime Watch WhatsApp group messages regarding a confrontation between a burglar and a resident.
A Merebank resident is lucky to be alive after a burglar shot at him on Himalayas Road, south of Durban, on Thursday.
According to the homeowner, who did not want to be named, just before 6am the Merebank Community WhatsApp groups put out an alert of suspicious men lurking in the area. The homeowner has already experienced three incidents of theft from her property in the past few months.
She said her daughter and son, who live in separate properties in the area, monitor her house outdoor cameras.
“My daughter called me and told me to be brave. She informed me that there were two men in the yard. I saw them on the camera too. I was monitoring their movements while waiting for help,” the woman said.
