Johannesburg - A 27-year-old man was kidnapped by unknown men on Sunday night at Erasmia near Pretoria, police said.
Spokesperson Bonginkosi Msimango said a group of five men armed with a firearm and four knives attacked four Egyptian men at their home at about 20:00.
"The suspects forced the door open and held the men hostage while they ransacked the house. An undisclosed amount of money, a cellphone and other household goods were taken."
Msimango said the kidnapped man came in when the robbers were about to leave.
He said they took him, bundled him into the boot of a grey 1990 Toyota Corolla which was parked in the garage and fled.
"The car's registration number is LNV 857 GP. The man and the car have not been found."
