Welkom - A couple was treated for shock at the Nala Hospital in the Free State after two men attacked and robbed them at their home in Bothaville on Wednesday, police said.
Inspector Stephen Thakeng said JA Roetz, 81, and his wife MA Roetz, 72, were robbed of their cellphones. It was unclear what else was stolen from the house.
Two men, armed with knives, attacked the couple, and tied them up in separate rooms in the house before the robbery took place.
Two cellphones were then stolen from them, Thakeng said.
