Durban - A 54-year-old Durban grandmother was handcuffed and raped in her home by an intruder, police said on Monday.

Captain Khephu Ndlovu said the woman was at her Umlazi M Section home on Saturday night when the incident took place.

"She heard someone knocking on the door and thought it was the home-owner but when she opened the door, the intruder came in," said Ndlovu.

The woman was handcuffed, ordered to lie on the floor and raped. The incident took place at 21:00.

Police have now advised elderly residents not to open the door for anyone.

"Please for your safety, we advise elderly people not to open the door for anyone late at night especially if you are in doubt. Rather tell the person to come back tomorrow," he said.

Police are investigating the rape and no arrest has been made.
