Pretoria - A 76-year-old woman was raped in her house in Queenswood, Pretoria, on Saturday night after she and her husband were set upon by three intruders, police said on Sunday.

Inspector Klaas van der Kooi said the three escaped with the elderly couple's car, personal belongings and firearms.

The couple were in their lounge watching television when the robbers entered their house through the kitchen door which was unlocked at that stage.

"The suspects assaulted the couple badly," said Van der Kooi.

"They then started collecting valuable property in the house.

"They also took three firearms out of the couple's safe.

"One suspect raped the 76-year-old lady afterwards in the bedroom."

After the rape the three took the couple's white Audi 500 and fled.

Police responded to the scene and were "shocked to find the couple in such a terrible state."

Anyone with information was asked to contact the Villieria police at 012 3336005 / 6.
